Macallan's A Night On Earth series heads to New Zealand for its fourth instalment – The First Light. Featuring a collaboration with New Zealand artist Bonnie Brown, this edition commemorates the perhaps little-known fact that folks in New Zealand are the first in the world to celebrate New Year's Day! This release combines first-fill and refill sherry cask-matured whisky, alongside a sparing portion matured in American oak bourbon barrels, bringing mellow sweetness alongside rich fruit and spice.
Caramel hints of fired icing sugar suggest Christmas pavlova and coconut. There is also a fleeting scent of Manuka honey, unique in character and indigenous to New Zealand.
Rich caramel with mellow baking spices, vanilla ice cream, pavlova, icing sugar, stone fruits and a subtle hint of coconut and manuka honey.
Sweet and fruity with mellow spice and toasted oak.
I bought this for my husband who loves whiskey. I don’t, as every time they say something has a hint of vanilla etc but to me… It just taste like the same old whiskey. Until this one, it really does have the hints as mentioned plus it is very smooth
