The Macallan A Night on Earth - The Journey


6th December 2023
The Macallan A Night on Earth - The Journey, the second limited edition annual release in the Night on Earth series, a balanced combination of first-fill American ex-bourbon barrels, along with European and American sherry-seasoned oak casks.

The Macallan A Night on Earth - The JourneyThe Macallan A Night on Earth - The Journey as you can probably guess from its title is a special release from The Macallan for the Holiday season, in fact more for New Year than Christmas but I am sure the sherried dram will go down equally well at Christmas. The Journey is the second annual release in Macallan's A Night On Earth series which has been created in collaboration with Shanghai-based Chinese artist, Nini Sum.

The Journey was created using a balanced combination of first-fill American ex-bourbon barrels, along with European and American sherry-seasoned oak casks.

This single malt represents the journey to reunite with our loved ones, and those unique moments around the world when we come together.

Nini Sum's artwork on the packaging intricately weaves together the essence of the whisky's flavours and Nini's treasured New Year recollections. It vividly portrays the vibrant explosion of fireworks, evoking memories of the enticing scent of toasted oak wafting from rice popcorn vendors adorning the lively streets of her hometown. Additionally, it captures the nostalgia of milk candy tucked in her pockets and the inviting aroma of steamed rice pudding, a comforting call back to home.

Moreover, the whisky is said to carry a subtle nuttiness, reminiscent of the sunflower seeds shared by Nini's family amid laughter and heartfelt conversations as they pondered their aspirations for the upcoming year.
