The Macallan Night Earth ’21, the first installment in an annual series paying homage to Scotland’s vibrant Hogmanay traditions. Crafted by Sarah Burgess, The Macallan’s lead whisky maker, this expression is a heartfelt tribute to her memories of Hogmanay festivities. It is a blend of whiskies aged in both American and European oak sherry seasoned casks, as well as ex-bourbon barrels.

The influence of ex-bourbon barrels is evident in the whisky’s profile, imparting distinct vanilla notes reminiscent of the “first footer” tradition. In Scottish lore, it is believed that the first person to enter a home after midnight on New Year’s Eve, particularly if dark-haired, brings good luck for the coming year. This visitor typically carries symbolic gifts of shortbread, whisky, and coal for the fire, echoing the flavors found in the whisky.

The label art for A Night on Earth in Scotland showcases captivating designs by Japanese French illustrator Erica Dorn, drawing inspiration from New Year celebrations worldwide. This limited-edition release offers whisky enthusiasts a chance to experience the essence of Hogmanay through the lens of The Macallan’s exceptional craftsmanship and artistic collaboration.
