That’s Baller: ARIA Resort Debuts Exclusive Macallan Tasting Experience at Lobby Bar

ARIA Resort & Casino is raising the bar on luxury experiences with the debut of a Macallan tasting lounge at its Lobby Bar, launching October 7. The immersive tasting experience will showcase some of the world’s most exclusive Macallan whiskies, including rare bottles typically reserved for private collectors.

“We pride ourselves on delivering high-end, exclusive experiences not found anywhere else in Las Vegas,” said Mark Gilbert, ARIA’s Vice President of Food & Beverage. “The Macallan is a global icon, known for its exceptional whiskies, and this experience perfectly aligns with the luxury ARIA provides, giving our guests an unforgettable environment to enjoy some of the finest whiskies ever produced.”

The Lobby Bar will undergo a sophisticated transformation for the event, featuring dramatic lighting, sleek finishes, and a bold red color scheme to set the stage for an upscale atmosphere. The design will integrate natural materials like wood and stone to pay homage to The Macallan distillery, while avant-garde elements inspired by the brand’s premium bottles will provide a modern twist.

One of the standout offerings at the lounge will be Time: Space, an ultra-rare 1940 vintage that has aged for 80 years—the oldest whisky ever released by The Macallan. Additional selections include:

• Macallan Sherry Oak: 12, 18, 25, and 30-year
• Macallan Double Cask: 12, 15, 18, and 30-year
• Macallan Rare Cask 2024
• Macallan Harmony Collection
• Macallan Reflexion
• Macallan M Collection
• Macallan Red Collection: 40, 50, 77, and 78-year

Founded in 1824, The Macallan has maintained a reputation for crafting exceptional whiskies with rich flavors and unmatched quality. This tasting lounge offers a rare chance for whisky aficionados and casual enthusiasts alike to explore the brand’s legendary portfolio in an intimate setting.
