The Urwerk Flask | Elegant Engineering

Macallan aficionados are used to the finer things in life, so when they’re out-and-about it stands to reason that they would demand a hipflask that befits the sacred liquid contained within.

Enter Swiss engineering maestros, Urwerk, who have come to the rescue with what might the most over-engineered flask on the planet.

Known for their eye-catching watches with equally eye-catching price tags, Urwerk and Macallan seem like a match made in luxury heaven. Following on from Macallan’s previous hip-flask collaboration with sunglasses manufacturer, Oakley, the Urwerk flask is constructed to the same high quality, but the features have been dialled up to eleven.

Constructed from more than 150 parts, and finished in stylish brushed aluminium, the Urwerk flask houses two separate whisky reservoirs with a mechanism that lets you easily swap between them without risking any cross contamination. To help you remember which of your precious Macallan whiskies you have contained in each tank there are a set of four rotary dials concealed in the base of the flask which can be set to indicate the age of the whiskies, as well as the type of cask each has been matured in. And, for display purposes a built-in stand can be deployed at the push of a button.

With only 500 flasks produced, these are surely a must-have for any serious Macallan collector. So don’t miss your chance to snag this fabulous item (lot 35) in our whisky auction on 8 November.
