The night began as guests arrived. Entering through the Rubell Museum’s luscious garden, they were greeted upon arrival with a cocktail before being escorted inside the museum to the reveal room. Once inside, The Macallan brand ambassador, Katie Nahat, unveiled The Macallan M Copper, a 2022 release single malt whiskey. She spoke about the bottle and conducted a guided tasting for guests to follow, accentuating the liquor’s unique notes of pear and white peach with a smooth aftertaste of toasted oak.

After the tasting, Lauren Carpenter and her famed violinist family, the Carpenters performed while guests took their seats in the gallery space where the dinner was soon to commence. Once the violinists had played, heads turned to the front of the room to Nahat and Carpenter. The duo led a conversation about Craftsmanship and Collectability connecting The Macallan whiskey and the Stradivarius violin, both of which are known for their exceptional quality and the incomparable products.
