Single malt whisky to give Edinburgh Fest a big new bang

The Edinburgh International Festival will open in August with an outdoor large-scale event, sponsored by Principal Partner, The Macallan.

Director Nicola Benedetti said: ‘This year’s Edinburgh International Festival will be a momentous celebration of the collective experiences that bind us closer together. We share The Macallan’s commitment to artistic innovation and collaboration, and to true mastery. This flourishing partnership will enable audiences to experience Festival traditions in new and extraordinary ways; our unmissable opening event will allow us to see ourselves and our history on the grandest of stages, and inspire us to think differently.’

Ms Benedetti has been the face of Macallan for the past two years (see poster image).
