The Macallan stars in Harrods Great Gatsby Cocktail Bar - 9th May, 2013
Inspired by the highly anticipated release of Baz Luhrmann’s adaptation of the F. Scott Fitzgerald classic ‘The Great Gatsby’, Harrods have recreated the lavish entertaining and unmistakable glamour of the Roaring Twenties, with the launch of their Great Gatsby Cocktail Bar. Harrods has transformed their Tasting Room and Wine Shop into an opulent art-deco pop-up experience, inviting customers to revisit the Jazz Age and reinvent some of the classic pours from this glitzy era, including The Macallan Blood and Sand made with Amber from the new 1824 Series.
The luxurious underground cocktail pop-up lounge area can be visited throughout the day (9th – 20th May) and theatrical cocktail-making sessions will take place from the main bar of the Harrods Wine Shop.
