Macallan A Night on Earth by Erica Dorn

The Macallan A Night on Earth in Scotland – Erica Dorn Edition

A celebratory single malt crafted to capture the warmth, joy, and tradition of Scotland’s Hogmanay festivities, The Macallan A Night on Earth in Scotland is the inaugural release in the distillery’s annual gifting series. Developed in collaboration with Japanese-French illustrator Erica Dorn, whose artwork graces the packaging, this expression pays homage to the Scottish New Year through both flavour and design. 

Matured in a harmonious combination of American ex-bourbon barrels and European and American oak sherry-seasoned casks, this whisky evokes the comforting notes of traditional Scottish shortbread, a delicacy often enjoyed during Hogmanay celebrations. 

Tasting Notes:

Nose: Vanilla, butter-rich baked apple, baking biscuits, plum, and almond. 

Palate: Soft velvety sweetness reminiscent of shortbread with a rich mouth coating, vanilla sweetness, with lightly toasted marshmallow, dried oranges, fig, and cinnamon. 

Finish: Medium finish with sweet butterscotch and freshly baked biscuits. 

Presented in a vibrant, multi-layered gift box featuring Erica Dorn’s bespoke abstract designs, the packaging reflects the joyous and festive nature of Hogmanay. The outer red symbolizes the traditional coal gifted during first footing, while the blue interior represents Scotland’s night skies and the national flag, the Saltire. 

The Macallan A Night on Earth in Scotland is a limited-edition release that not only offers a delightful tasting experience but also serves as a tribute to Scottish heritage and the universal joy of celebrating the New Year.
