The third and final expression in the A Night On Earth series created for The Macallan’s 200th anniversary, the whisky is a harmonious blend of spirits aged in European and American sherry seasoned oak casks. Inspired by the Spanish region from which the distillery sources its sherry casks, the whisky showcases flavours of pastry, grapes, and anise – a nod to the Spanish custom of eating grapes for the new year, as well as the traditional Jerez pastry known as Pestinos, which is made from fried dough, sugar and aniseed or honey.
Adding to the festive soul of this expression is a collaboration with artist and Jerez native Maria Melero, who harnessed her memories of crimson skies over sherry vineyards for the expression’s label and box.
