Coming Together
The third release in the A Night on Earth series celebrates the universal night to celebrate the end of the year, a time for togetherness to reflect on what has passed, and to toast what is to come. In celebration of our 200 year anniversary we have gone to Jerez de la Frontera in Spain, where our exceptional oak casks are seasoned with sherry wine.
Created by The Macallan Whisky Mastery Team, the single malt Scotch whisky is a unique expression using a perfectly balanced combination of exceptional European and American sherry seasoned oak casks and inspired by the year end traditions in the home of Sherry wine.

Nochevieja
This release is inspired by New Year’s Eve in Jerez de la Frontera: a night full of meaning and tradition, known as Nochevieja, meaning Old Night.
In many cultures around the world, the year’s end is a time for togetherness. A night to be with people we love the most, to reflect on what has passed, and to toast what is to come. With this celebration comes traditions and rituals that have been handed down from generation to generation, until they become part of the soul of a place.
Special Moments
For this final product release in our 200th year anniversary, we have collaborated with Maria Melero, born in Jerez, who has captured her memories of the festive period in her home city as inspiration to create the designs that can be enjoyed during the unique unboxing experience of A Night on Earth.
“Jerez plays a crucial role in The Macallan’s past, but also present and future. As a whiskymaker, having been able to tell part of that story through a whisky has been wonderfullyrewarding. A combination of European and American sherry seasoned casks hasenabled us to capture the flavours, traditions and Maria’s memories of New Year in Jerezde la Frontera, the home of Sherry wine.”

Celebration inspired by Tradition
New Year's Eve in Spain is inextricably linked with grapes and the sound of church bells welcoming the arrival of the New Year.
It is said that anyone who managed to eat 12 grapes before the midnight bells stopped ringing was bound to have a good year.
This tradition began at the end of the 19th century and was popularised by farmers in Southeastern Spain during a particularly good year for crops, when they started selling their surplus of grapes as lucky tokens to celebrate the New Year.
