We will shortly launch the newly designed shop-in-shop in our flagship Concourse A store at Dubai International (DXB), ensuring that Le Clos remains the destination of choice for those seeking iconic collectibles by continuing to set the standard in luxury travel retail."

Igor Boyadjian, Managing Director, Edrington Global Travel Retail added: "This latest record breaking sale is testament to the powerful and unique partnership between The Macallan and Le Clos.  Not only is there clear alignment on how to cater to luxury spirits consumers but there is also a perfect dovetailing between Le Clos' luxury retail expertise and The Macallan's status as the ultimate luxury spirit. We look forward to strengthening this partnership in the future, and are determined to enhance continuously the retail experience for consumers, especially in key locations such as Dubai International Airport - a truly world-class facility with the very highest standards."

On the series of record-breaking sales and on-going relationship shared by Le Clos, The Macallan and Dubai Airports, Eugene Barry EVP Commercial and Communication Dubai Airports stated, "Dubai Airports is delighted to host Le Clos at Dubai International, and we congratulate both them and The Macallan on another outstanding sale at DXB.
