The Macallan
Estate has unveiled a unique festive
experience inspired by, and carefully
curated to honour, its latest whisky
expression, The Macallan A Night on
Earth in Scotland.
If you are looking for a bottle of
something special to sip with your
shortbread this Hogmanay then the folks
up at The Macallan distillery reckon
that they have created the perfect dram
to pair with the delicious wee buttery
biscuit, The Macallan A Night on Earth in
Scotland, which is a limited edition single
malt that tells a story of New Year in
Scotland, reflecting the joy of
celebrating special occasions with loved
ones.
A Night on Earth in Scotland has been
created from a selection of The
Macallan’s American and
European oak sherry seasoned casks,
along with American ex-bourbon barrels
to deliver its rich, sweet
shortbread-like character. A whisky
referencing the rich Scottish delicacy
traditionally gifted and eaten at
Hogmanay, punctuated by festive notes of
dried orange and spice.
The Macallan Estate has unveiled a
unique festive experience inspired by,
and carefully curated to honour, its
latest dram, The Macallan A
Night on Earth in Scotland.
A Perfect Pairing: Sip neat with
shortbread on the side.
For one night only, on Friday 10th
December, guests are invited to journey
to The Macallan Estate after hours for
an intimate evening of fine dining and
an extraordinary whisky tasting.
Decorated for the festive season,
including a magnificent Christmas tree
stretching towards the distillery’s
iconic roof, A Night on Earth, The
Macallan Estate Experience provides a
unique opportunity to experience The
Macallan in all its seasonal splendour.
With limited spaces available, it is a
highly exclusive and intimate
experience.
On arrival at The Macallan Estate,
guests will be welcomed with an
exclusive cocktail to be enjoyed in
front of The Macallan Whisky Wall – a
showcase of some of the brand’s most
iconic single malts.
This warm welcome is followed by a
bespoke seven-course tasting menu of the
finest seasonal produce designed by Head
Chef, Pawel Sowa, with a tasteful
selection of wines and whiskies
carefully selected by The Macallan
Estate sommelier to complement the
evening meal.
After dinner, guests will retreat to The
Macallan Bar, home to the world’s
largest selection of Macallan whiskies
available to sample. The Macallan Bar
overlooks Easter Elchies House – the
spiritual home of The Macallan which has
appeared on every bottle of The Macallan
for almost 200 years.
Here, a tutored tasting of The
Macallan’s latest expression, A Night on
Earth in Scotland, which reveals the
story of Scotland’s world-famous
Hogmanay festivities and captures the
universal joy of celebrating the change
of year, will be enjoyed.
Stuart Cassells, General Manager at The
Macallan Estate, said:
"Christmas is a special time of year
where we can gather with family and
friends, reflecting on the past year and
looking ahead to the future with
optimism and anticipation.
"We can’t wait to welcome guests to The
Macallan Estate for a truly special
festive experience. A Night on Earth,
The Macallan Estate Experience is an
opportunity to celebrate with friends
and family here at The Macallan,
savouring the true meaning of Christmas
– quality time, spent together."
 The first in a new limited edition
gifting series, A Night on Earth in
Scotland is a collaboration with
acclaimed Japanese-French illustrator
Erica Dorn, whose artwork has featured
in films by leading director, Wes
Anderson.
Presented as part of innovative
multi-layered packaging that provides an
exceptional unboxing experience, Erica
Dorn’s playful abstract illustrations
are inspired by the historic fire
rituals dominant in New Year
celebrations around the world.
They also reveal some distinctive
Hogmanay customs, including the
tradition of first footing: when it is
good luck for a dark-haired visitor to
be the first person to enter your home
after midnight, bearing symbolic gifts –
whisky coal and shortbread – that aim to
bring comfort and happiness in the year
ahead.
With a soft, velvety mouthfeel, it
excellently showcases The Macallan’s
commitment to craftsmanship and
uncompromised excellence.

Macallan Estate Experience are available
