The Macallan A NIGHT ON EARTH IN SCOTLAND Highland Single Malt gift box 43% 0,7 l

The Macallan A Night On Earth In Scotland in a gift box is a seasonal limited edition inspired by the Scottish New Year celebrations – Hogmanay. It captures the joy of getting together, traditions passed down through generations, and the warm atmosphere of a winter night when the old year ends and the new one begins.

The story of Hogmanay:

Hogmanay (pronounced "hog·muh·nei") is a famous Scottish New Year's Eve tradition associated with the ritual of "first footing." According to custom, the first visitor after midnight brings cookies, whiskey, and coal to the house—symbols of comfort, abundance, and good luck in the new year.

This motif is also reflected in the character of the whisky: sweetness reminiscent of delicate butter cookies, festive notes of dried oranges and spices, and a warm, fireplace-like finish.

Maturation and character:

This Highland Single Malt Whisky is a combination of exceptional American and European oak sherry casks and American oak bourbon casks. The result is a rich, sweet, and accessible profile with a distinctive "shortbread" character—a typical buttery biscuit note that is significant for this edition.

Tasting profile:

Color: Warm, reminiscent of hot coals.

Aroma: Vanilla, butter, baked apple, cookies, plums, and almonds.

Taste: A delicate, velvety sweetness evoking delicate pastries, vanilla, lightly toasted marshmallows, dried oranges, figs, and cinnamon.

Finish: Medium length, buttery caramel with notes of freshly baked cookies.

Recommendation: Serve neat, ideally paired with delicate butter pastries.

Gift box design:

The packaging was created by Japanese-French illustrator Erica Dorn, known for her collaboration on Wes Anderson films. The multi-layered box offers a distinctive unboxing experience:

• The red exterior symbolizes the fire, coal, and joy of Hogmanay.
• The blue interior refers to the night sky and the Scottish Saltire flag.
• The amber tones inside are reminiscent of golden cookies and the richness of the whisky itself.

The Macallan A Night On Earth In Scotland is not just a whisky—it is a celebration of tradition, shared moments, and new beginnings. The limited edition in attractive gift packaging is the ideal choice for festive occasions and collector's collections.

The Macallan Distillers Ltd.

The Macallan Distillery was founded in 1824 by Alexander Reid, originally a teacher and barley grower, who leased land in Easter Elchies in 1819. The Macallan was one of the first Scottish distilleries to be officially licensed and has gradually built a reputation as one of the most prestigious single malt whisky brands in the world.

From the beginning, its character has been shaped by three key influences – Scotland, Spain, and North America. It is precisely this emphasis on the selection of raw materials and, above all, on maturation in carefully selected sherry casks from Spain that has become one of the pillars of this iconic brand's style. Merchant Roderick Kemp, who bought the distillery in 1892 and cemented its long-term association with sherry casks, also played an important role.

A legendary milestone was the 1926 cask, which was bottled after sixty years as The Macallan 1926 60 Years Old – one of the most sought-after whiskies of its time.

In 2018, the brand opened a new architecturally exceptional distillery designed by Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners, which combines modern technology with respect for the surrounding Speyside landscape. In 2024, the distillery celebrated 200 years since its founding – two centuries of craftsmanship, innovation, and exceptional quality that have defined the style of The Macallan.
