The Macallan released a limited edition single malt Scotch whisky – A Night on Earth in Jerez de la Frontera – as their third and final release of the year in their A Night on Earth Series and celebration of their 200th anniversary.

The Macallan A Night on Earth in Jerez de la Frontera was matured in a combination of European and American sherry-seasoned oak casks, bottled at 43% alcohol by volume [86 proof] and is said to offer notes of anise, grapes and pastry – which are said to have been inspired by the Spanish custom of eating 12 grapes before the start of the New Year, as well as the traditional Jerez pastry, pestiños – a rich, fried dough with sugar and aniseed or honey in the famous sherry-producing region.

The Macallan’s A Night on Earth in Jerez de la Frontera is being made available for $145 per bottle.

Mike Billett joins us on this week’s WhiskyCast In-Depth. In the news, whisky industry leaders are worried about the results of Tuesday’s U.S. election and the potential for new tariffs in a second Trump Administration.
