The Macallan “A Night on Earth” (also titled A Night on Earth in Scotland) is a limited-edition single malt Scotch whisky from Speyside. It is inspired by the Scottish Hogmanay New Year festivities, with evocative packaging and design to match—complemented by its flavour profile. The whisky is matured in a mix of American and European oak sherry-seasoned casks plus American ex-bourbon barrels, which impart layers of richness and seasonal warmth. It aims to capture the comfort of festive traditions, blending sweet oak influence with gentle fruit and biscuit notes.
