“A Night on Earth in Jerez de la Frontera”, the limited-edition single malt Scotch whisky, pays homage to the Spanish region where The Macallan’s cask journey begins. In Jerez de la Frontera, the sherry-seasoned oak casks are meticulously crafted, laying the foundation for the whisky that will eventually mature and define The Macallan.

This exclusive release encapsulates the spirit of the season in southern Spain, a time for reflection, connection, and celebration as the year comes to a close. Inspired by the warmth and rich traditions of Jerez, A Night on Earth in Jerez de la Frontera is a distinctive gift that embodies the joy of the festivities and the promise of new beginnings.

The Macallan has collaborated with artist María Melero, a native of Jerez, who has channelled her memories of the festive period in her home city to create the distinctive designs that adorn this release. Her artwork enhances the unboxing experience, making it as memorable as the whisky itself.

Steven Bremner, Whisky Maker, commented: “Jerez plays a crucial role in The Macallan’s past, but also present and future. As a whisky maker, having been able to tell part of that story through a whisky has been wonderfully rewarding. A combination of European and American sherry seasoned casks has enabled us to capture the flavours, traditions and María’s memories of New Year in Jerez de la Frontera, the home of sherry wine.”
