The creation of The Macallan draws upon the unique influences of Spain, North America, and Scotland, and of their respective natural raw materials, combined with traditional methods and craftsmanship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe six pillars of The Macallan distillery represent the foundation stones for the character of the brand and the creation of its rich spirit. These pillars include a strong sense of place and a wealth of experience in distilling and maturing single malt whisky.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Spiritual Home of The Macallan is Easter Elchies House, a Highland manor house built in 1700 from locally quarried sandstone. The house sits on the 485-acre Macallan Estate, which is farmed in harmony with the environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Macallan's Curiously Small Stills are some of the smallest on Speyside and are crafted from copper. These unique stills give the spirit maximum contact with the copper, resulting in the rich, fruity, full-bodied flavors characteristic of The Macallan. Each still holds an initial charge of 3,900 litres, and there are 24 in total.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe finest quality spirit is carefully selected from The Macallan's stills to produce the best single malt whisky. This small portion, or \"cut,\" is incredibly selective and responsible for the full-bodied richness of The Macallan's new make spirit, which is selected at just under 70% alcohol by volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe exceptional oak casks used by The Macallan are crafted to the brand's specifications and account for up to 80% of the final aromas and flavors of its whisky. The brand spends more per cask than any other distillery in sourcing, crafting, seasoning, and caring for its casks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll colour in The Macallan's whiskies is natural, resulting from the interaction between the new make spirit and the oak of the maturation casks. The natural colors remain fixed and consistent, rather than fading in sunlight, as artificial colors do.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe peerless spirit of The Macallan results from the brand's unique combination of place, production, people, and passion, resulting in a whisky that is unmatched and peerless in every way.\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2022-05-26T15:23:31+10:00","sort_order":"best-selling","template_suffix":"banner","disjunctive":true,"rules":[{"column":"title","relation":"contains","condition":"THE MACALLAN"}],"published_scope":"global","image":{"created_at":"2023-05-15T17:20:51+10:00","alt":null,"width":1600,"height":600,"src":"\/\/thewineprovidore.com.au\/cdn\/shop\/collections\/The_Macallan_12_Collection_The_Wine_Providore.jpg?v=1684135251"}},{"id":9281634332,"handle":"whisky","updated_at":"2024-05-04T14:35:00+10:00","published_at":"2017-10-14T14:51:41+11:00","sort_order":"price-asc","template_suffix":"","published_scope":"global","title":"Whisky Store","body_html":"","image":{"created_at":"2019-08-08T04:33:02+10:00","alt":"","width":1600,"height":600,"src":"\/\/thewineprovidore.com.au\/cdn\/shop\/collections\/Banner_Whiksy_Store.jpg?v=1565202782"}},{"id":283622277270,"handle":"white-wine","title":"WHITE WINE","updated_at":"2024-05-04T19:15:06+10:00","body_html":"","published_at":"2021-11-02T15:36:18+11:00","sort_order":"best-selling","template_suffix":"","disjunctive":true,"rules":[{"column":"title","relation":"contains","condition":"Chardonnay"},{"column":"title","relation":"contains","condition":"Chenin Blanc"},{"column":"title","relation":"contains","condition":"Pinot Grigio"},{"column":"title","relation":"contains","condition":"Semillon"},{"column":"title","relation":"contains","condition":"Semillon Sauvignon Blanc"},{"column":"title","relation":"contains","condition":"Torrontes"},{"column":"title","relation":"contains","condition":"Chablis"},{"column":"title","relation":"contains","condition":"pinot gris"},{"column":"title","relation":"contains","condition":"pinot grigio"},{"column":"title","relation":"contains","condition":"sauvignon blanc"},{"column":"title","relation":"contains","condition":"riesling"},{"column":"title","relation":"contains","condition":"albarino"},{"column":"title","relation":"contains","condition":"moscato"},{"column":"title","relation":"contains","condition":"semillon"},{"column":"title","relation":"contains","condition":"vermentino"},{"column":"title","relation":"contains","condition":"white blend"},{"column":"title","relation":"contains","condition":"verdelho"},{"column":"title","relation":"contains","condition":"pecorino"},{"column":"title","relation":"contains","condition":"garganega"},{"column":"title","relation":"contains","condition":"fiano"},{"column":"title","relation":"contains","condition":"bianco"},{"column":"title","relation":"not_contains","condition":"Luigi Bormioli"},{"column":"title","relation":"not_contains","condition":"Glencairn"},{"column":"title","relation":"not_contains","condition":"Champagne"},{"column":"title","relation":"not_contains","condition":"Veuve"},{"column":"title","relation":"not_contains","condition":"Jack"},{"column":"title","relation":"not_contains","condition":"Antipodes"},{"column":"title","relation":"not_contains","condition":"never never"},{"column":"title","relation":"not_contains","condition":"gin"},{"column":"title","relation":"not_contains","condition":"Upshot"}],"published_scope":"global","image":{"created_at":"2023-04-16T19:06:54+10:00","alt":null,"width":1600,"height":600,"src":"\/\/thewineprovidore.com.au\/cdn\/shop\/collections\/White_Wine_1.jpg?v=1681636014"}}]

THE MACALLAN A NIGHT ON EARTH SINGLE MALT WHISKY 40% 700ML
The first in a series of annual releases from The Macallan, the wonderfully titled A Night on Earth in Scotland is inspired by Hogmanay, Scotland's New Year's Eve celebration. Created by Macallan lead whisky maker Sarah Burgess, whose memories of Hogmanay were a key influence to the expression, this single malt features whiskies aged in American and European oak sherry seasoned casks, as well as ex-bourbon barrels.
Those ex-bourbon barrels have imparted a distinctive helping of vanilla notes to the whisky, an homage to the 'first footer', a custom of Hogmanay where it's supposed to be good luck for a dark-haired person to be the first to visit your home after midnight on New Year. Apparently, the 'first footer' will be carrying shortbread (that's where the vanilla notes we were talking about come into this), whisky, and coal for the fire.
A Night on Earth in Scotland features designs by Japanese-French illustrator Erica Dorn, once again inspired by the New Year celebrations around the world.
TASTING NOTES
