Macallan
The Macallan A Night On Earth In Scotland / 40%
A Night on Earth in Scotland is a limited edition 2021 Macallan dedicated to a Scottish New Year's celebration called "Hogmanay". They are celebrated on December 31, which corresponds to our New Year's Eve night. In Scottish ritual, the first visitor (first footing) crossing the threshold of the house after midnight is of special significance - the mark of good fortune is a dark-haired man bringing traditional Scottish shortbread, whisky and a lump of coal. Macallan A Night on Earth in Scotland is a blend of American and European oak seasoned sherry casks and bourbon barrels. The graphic side of this holiday edition was designed by Erica Dorn, a Japanese-French illustrator, inspired by the historical fire rituals that dominate New Year's celebrations around the world.

SEEThe Macallan The Harmony Collection Rich Cacao 44%
In 2021, Macallan Distillery unveiled Rich Cocoa, the first edition of its new Harmony Collection series (subsequent editions to be released annually). Its author is Polly Logan, Macallan's whisky maker, who has tested countless barrels of maturing whisky in search of distillates with a distinctly chocolatey profile. The project involved Jordi Roca, head pastry chef of the Michelin three-star restaurant, El Celler de Can Roca. Ms. Logan traveled to Girona, Spain, where Jordi Roca (also owner of the Casa Cacao chocolate boutique) revealed to her the secrets of producing top-quality chocolate. Macallan Rich Cocoa is a couplet of American oak and European aged sherry casks, bottled at 44% abv. (We serve, of course, with chocolate.)
Aroma
intense notes of chocolate, coffee beans, honey, raisins, cherries, orange zest, lime jam, candied ginger, a trace of high-end leather and oak.
