The Macallan A Night on Earth in Jerez

The Macallan launches the third release in A Night on Earth Series

The ultimate luxury whisky gift for the holiday season

The Macallan has announced the third release in the A Night on Earth Series. This new limited-edition single malt Scotch whisky was made to be the ultimate gift to celebrate the end of the year and is a fitting sign-off to the brand's 200th anniversary celebrations.

Named A Night on Earth in Jerez de la Frontera, the whisky pays tribute to the Spanish region where The Macallan’s cask journey begins. It is in Jerez de la Frontera, where the sherry-seasoned oak casks - that one day will nurture and mature The Macallan - are meticulously crafted, laying the foundation for the whisky that follows.

This exclusive release captures the essence of the season that marks the end of the year in southern Spain, a time for togetherness, reflection on what has passed, and a celebration of the future. Inspired by the warmth and vibrancy of Jerez's traditions, A Night on Earth in Jerez de la Frontera embodies the spirit of festivity and renewal. Its release just before Christmas and it's rich, Christmas-cake, festive-spice-laden profile make it an ideal gift for this time of year.

The Macallan A Night on Earth in Jerez

A Night on Earth in Jerez de la Frontera is matured in a combination of European and American sherry-seasoned oak casks, produced to The Macallan’s exacting specifications. It's a combination that celebrates and reflects the artistry and diversity of sherry production in Jerez.

This classic combination delivers plenty of familiar richness and sweetness on the palate. The whisky’s tasting notes of pastry, grapes and anise take inspiration from the Spanish custom of eating twelve grapes before the start of the New Year and the traditional Jerez pastry, Pestiños – a rich, fried dough with sugar and aniseed or honey.
