Introducing The Macallan: A Night On Earth In Jerez

This limited-edition beauty, the latest release from “A Night On Earth” series, is a love letter to the heart and soul of Jerez. Jerez is the birthplace of sherry, and the city that celebrates “Nochevieja”—New Year’s Eve in all its vibrant, time-honoured glory. Created in collaboration with the talented Jerez-born artist María Melero, it’s as much about the whisky as it is about the tradition and culture that shaped it. The whisky itself? A lush, rich treat crafted in the finest sherry-seasoned oak casks.

The nose evokes honey and raisins, cinnamon and citrus, with an oak undertone. The palate delivers the velvety smoothness Macallan is famous for, but with a sherry dominance - vanilla, oak and spices are all perfectly balanced. And the finish? Lengthy and lingering.

Presented in a stunning collector’s gift box, that’s visually as rich as the whisky. Brought to you by The Macallan and Barrel & Batch.
