Baz Luhrmann’s rendition of the F. Scott Fitzgerald classic,“The Great Gatsby”, is loud [thanks to a Jay-Z soundtrack] and ostentatious – which may or may not be what Fitzgerald had in mind – Luhrmann tends to make his own showy look-at-me interpretations of classics. But Macallen jumps on the Gatsby bandwagon along with UK-based retailer, Harrods as the posh department store has set up a Great Gatsby-themed cocktail bar from May 9-20 in its store and features the fine single malt Scotch whisky in its Blood and Sand cocktail [among others] - perfect for drinking with any random Daisies, but watch out for any fertile Myrtles .
“The Great Gatsby” releases on May 10, 2013.
