The 2022 release of The Macallan A Night on Earth in Scotland. Full of symbolism linked to Scotland's Hogmanay celebrations on the 31st of December and the 'first footing' tradition, where it's good luck for the first person welcomed into your home after midnight to bring whisky, shortbread and coal. There are shortbread notes aplenty in this Highland single malt, coming through from bourbon barrels, and sweet festive spice from sherry seasoned American and European oak casks. Presented in a box with artwork by Erica Dorn, with the red colours representing the warm fire from the coal. A fabulous whisky to have on hand for festivities, it pairs wonderfully with shortbread of course!
This bottle was part of a private collection - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!
