Guests will enjoy light bites and deserts alongside curated Macallan whisky flights and craft cocktails using ingredients from Gracie’s Farm, the resort’s sustainable on-site farm.

The experience will be further grounded in the Mountain West through the burning of palo santo and ethically sourced local pine resins. Meanwhile, subtle elements of The Macallan’s Speyside heritage will be incorporated throughout the yurt. Guests can enjoy The Macallan woven seamlessly into Blue Sky’s signature experiences, from cocktail-making classes to a riverside whisky flight following a day of fly fishing.
