Matured in a combination of The Macallan’s exceptional American and European oak sherry-seasoned casks, alongside American ex-bourbon barrels, this release delivers a rich, sweet shortbread-like character inspired by the Scottish delicacy traditionally enjoyed at Hogmanay. Bottled at 40% ABV, it balances festive notes of dried orange, spice, and buttery vanilla sweetness. Presented in a striking multi-layered gift box featuring bespoke abstract artwork by Erica Dorn, the vibrant design captures the celebratory nature of Hogmanay, with colours symbolising fire, night skies, and golden shortbread.
