The Macallan A Night On Earth: The First Light (2025 Release)
Welcome the new year with a journey to the edge of the world. Nestor Liquor, your preferred partner for the finest single malts, is honored to present The Macallan A Night On Earth: The First Light (2025 Release). This is the fourth edition in the celebrated "A Night on Earth" series, which explores the unique ways communities across the globe gather to ring in the new year.
For this 2025 release, The Macallan journeys to New Zealand, one of the very first places on Earth to be touched by the sun’s first light. It captures the essence of a Southern Hemisphere celebration—where the New Year is welcomed not in the snow, but amidst the vibrant sights and fragrant scents of a festive summer coast.
The packaging features the evocative artwork of local New Zealand illustrator Bonnie Brown, capturing the spirit of togetherness and the hope that illuminates the dawn. The whisky itself was crafted by The Macallan Whisky Mastery Team to honor this moment of unity. It is matured in a harmonious combination of sherry seasoned American and European oak casks, along with a sparing inclusion of ex-bourbon casks.
Bottled at 43% ABV, this expression offers a warm, fruity profile that echoes the joy of summer gatherings.
