As Chinese New Year approaches, The Macallan invites whisky lovers to embrace the spirit of connection, renewal and festive joy with its latest release, A Night on Earth in Jerez. This limited-edition single malt whisky is a vibrant celebration of tradition, drawing inspiration from the cultural heritage of Jerez, Spain—a region deeply intertwined with The Macallan’s legacy as the home of its renowned sherry-seasoned casks.
With its radiant burnt orange hue reminiscent of glowing Chinese New Year lanterns, A Night on Earth in Jerez sets the stage for a sensory experience like no other. On the nose, it reveals a harmonious blend of honey-coated pestiños (traditional Spanish pastries), sweet raisins, cinnamon, anise, oak, and citrus. The palate unfolds with indulgent layers of sweet pastries, white grapes, honey-glazed almonds, creamy vanilla, and delicate spices. A whisper of fresh rosemary adds a delightful twist, while the warm, sweet finish leaves a lasting impression of festive cheer—perfect for toasting to prosperity and new beginnings.
The whisky’s eco-conscious packaging is adorned with stunning artwork by María Melero, a celebrated artist from Jerez. Her designs capture the essence of her hometown’s festive spirit through motifs of sherry vineyards under a crimson sky, symbolic roses representing natural craftsmanship, and traditional azulejos (ceramic tiles). These thoughtful details not only honour the cultural heritage of Jerez but also align with The Macallan’s commitment to sustainability and craftsmanship.
