Macallan - A Night on Earth in Scotland - Original bottling - 700ml

Macallan A Night on Earth / Nini Sum - 43%

Released in late 2023, A Night on Earth - The Journey is the second edition in a limited gifting series from the Speyside giant. The series is dedicated to celebrating New Years Eve around the world.

It may be hard to imagine today, but for much of the 20th century, Macallan was primarily a constituent malt in blends. It was not until the 1980s downturn in the market that the distillery decided to focus on its single malt brand. Fortuitously, this coincided with the crest of a wave of enthusiasm for the high quality releases that the distillery had licensed to Campbell, Hope & King and Gordon & MacPhail in the 1960s and 1970s. These remain some of the most collectible on the market. While global single malt sales volume is still lead by Speyside neighbours, Glenfiddich and Glenlivet, Macallan is easily the most sought after. So much so in fact, that they had to open a brand new distillery in 2018, a subterranean architectural masterpiece within the Easter Elchies estate, boasting 36 copper pot stills.

The whisky itself has been aged in a combination of American ex-Bourbon and European sherry seasoned casks.

This edition features graphics by Chinese artist, Nini Sum.

Originally from Nanjing, Sum founded China's first independent screen-printing studio IdleBeats in Shanghai in 2010. The inspiration for the carton artwork comes from Sum’s memories of New Years Eve, which would always include fireworks and neighbourhood lanterns in the streets.
