Pastry, Grape, Anise. Coming Together
The third release in the A Night on Earth series celebrates the universal night to celebrate the end of the year, a time for togetherness to reflect on what has passed, and to toast what is to come. In celebration of our 200 year anniversary we have gone to Jerez de la Frontera in Spain, where our exceptional oak casks are seasoned with sherry wine. Created by The Macallan Whisky Mastery Team, the single malt Scotch whisky is a unique expression using a perfectly balanced combination of exceptional European and American sherry seasoned oak casks and inspired by the year end traditions in the home of Sherry wine.

Nochevieja
This release is inspired by New Year’s Eve in Jerez de la Frontera: a night full of meaning and tradition, known as Nochevieja, meaning Old Night.
In many cultures around the world, the year’s end is a time for togetherness. A night to be with people we love the most, to reflect on what has passed, and to toast what is to come. With this celebration comes traditions and rituals that have been handed down from generation to generation, until they become part of the soul of a place.
For this release, the artist Maria Melero has evoked the sights, sensations, and emotions of a Spanish New Year’s Eve celebration in Jerez de la Frontera.
Available at Royal Batch, The Macallan A Night on Earth in Jerez offers a luxurious, limited-edition tasting journey that connects Spanish tradition with Scottish craftsmanship.
