“The whisky’s golden acorn natural color provides the focal point of the shot, and its rich tone and translucent glow influenced the color palette of the piece as a whole.”

“I also created a still life image featuring vibrant colors and varying textures to portray the whisky’s luscious flavors while natural light captures its depth of character,” he adds. “I was drawn to an oak tree and its leaves which provided the perfect subjects to evoke the seemingly simply, yet rich and complex character of Double Cask 30 Years Old and to depict the natural color of the whisky.”

“Nature lies at the heart of my work, and I was greatly inspired by the breath-taking natural landscape on The Macallan Estate,” says Erik Madigan Heck. Heck’s photography set features three compositions: a collection of “abstract leaves” from an oak tree an image of a “blue tree” representing Double Cask 30 Years Old’s character and a still life, reminiscent of the Flemish still life paintings from the 17 th century, which depicts the colors and varying textures of the flavors in the whisky. Taking his inspiration from the natural landscape on The Macallan Estate and the flavors and natural color of the whisky, he captured imagery evoking the single malt’s character in a unique and contemporary way, the company says. The Macallan has collaborated with American artist and photographer, Erik Madigan Heck, to showcase the tastes and flavor profile of Double Cask 30 Years Old.
