In thistalk filmed by Dezeen for The Dalmore, Zaha Hadid Architects director Melodie Leung explains how she worked with the Scottish distiller to create a rare edition of its single malt whisky.

During the talk, which was moderated by Yoko Choy, China editor forWallpaper*, Leung described her collaboration with whisky makers Richard Paterson and Gregg Glass, with whom she worked to develop a Dalmore 49-year-old single malt whisky housed in a unique glass sculpture.

“It wasn’t just about the physical outcome of the project,” she said, explaining how Paterson and Glass drew on her childhood memories to create the one-off edition, which will be up for auction at Sotheby’s this week to raise money for V&A Dundee.

The final product is “imbued with all of our life experiences,” she continued.

The event marked the second instalment of a partnership between V&A Dundee and The DalmorecalledThe Luminary Series, which pairs notable architects with whisky makers to produce limited edition whiskies.
