The Macallan Flier: A sophisticated spin on a whisky classic

May 16, 2025
Step into Enigma’s Macallan Lounge and raise a glass to whisky done differently

There’s no better excuse to raise a glass of something exceptional than World Whisky Day—and this year, Toronto has just the place to do it in style. Tucked within the refined setting of Enigma Yorkville, The Macallan Lounge is the city’s first exclusive space dedicated to The Macallan’s legendary single malts.

This intimate, six-seat sanctuary is where Michelin-starred cuisine meets world-class whisky, offering a one-of-a-kind tasting experience right in the heart of Yorkville.

In addition to elevating definitive cocktails like the Old Fashioned or Paper Plane, Enigma is introducing The Macallan Flier—a bold yet refined riff on the classic Kentucky Flyer cocktail. Balancing the richness of Macallan 12 Year Sherry Oak with bright citrus, a touch of fig, and the complex herbal depth of Amaro Nonino and Aperol, it’s a cocktail that echoes the elegance of its surroundings.

Whether you’re seated inside the lounge, sipping alongside Highland Beef Wellington or Antonius Oscietra Caviar, or recreating the experience at home, The Macallan Flier is a fitting tribute to whisky’s global celebration.

World Whisky Day only comes once a year—why not make it extraordinary?
