Description

The Macallan A Night on Earth 2023 Whisky

Please note: This is a limited edition item, so when its gone, its gone!

Founded in 1824 (making it nearly 200 years old) The Macallan distillery is located in Craigellachie, Moray in Scotland. The Macallen is classed as the second or third best-selling single malt scotch (behind Glenfiddich, and perhaps Glenlivet).

One of their limited editions, A Night on Earth is an annual release and is a unique expression which is created by carefully balancing exceptional first-fill American ex-bourbon barrels, along with European and American sherry-seasoned oak casks.

Its created to celebrate the special time of New Year. A time when people journey to be together, to acknowledge the passing of the old year, and welcome in the new.

This edition is created in collaboration with the acclaimed Chinese artist, Nini Sum. It comes with innovative multi-layered packaging that provides an exceptional unboxing experience - perfect as a special gift for a whisky lover, or just as exquisite for the whisky connoisseur to buy for themselves.

The artwork on the box ties together the whisky's notes and Nini's cherished New Year memories. Capturing the burst of fireworks, the enticing aromas of toasted oak emanating from rice popcorn vendors on the brightly decorated streets of her town, the milk candy in her pockets and the sweet fragrance of steamed rice pudding beckoning her home.

The whisky also has a nuttiness, which is an echo of the sunflower seeds Nini’s family shared as they laughed and talked about their wishes for the new year.

The whisky itself has a sunrise golden colour to it, which releases a luscious aroma of toasted oak, steamed rice and oak pudding which is joined by citrus, vanilla and oat biscuits.

The palate opens up with a burst of effervescent citrus fruits (lemon and lime) which is joined with flavours likened to a sweet creamy vanilla sponge and toasted coconut.  This leads to a medium finish, which leaves sweet, toasted oak and vanilla on the tastebuds.

A truly exquisite whisky, we loved this with a small splash of water. However, as with all whisky - enjoy as you will!
