The most recent ‘A Night on Earth’ expression is being released as part of The Macallan’s 200th anniversary. It pays tribute to the region in Spain where The Macallan procures its sherry-seasoned oak barrels, which it uses for aging and finishing its single malt whiskies.

Matured in a combination of American and European sherry-seasoned oak barrels, it’s known for its nose of dark chocolate, toasted vanilla beans, oak, and dried fruit. The palate is a mix of candied orange peels, toffee, candied nuts, sweet sherry, oak, and gentle wintry spices. The finish is a warming mix of sherry sweetness and light baking spices.

“Jerez plays a crucial role in The Macallan’s past, but also present and future,” Whisky Maker Steven Bremner said in a press release. “As a whisky maker, having been able to tell part of that story through a whisky has been wonderfully rewarding. A combination of European and American sherry seasoned casks has enabled us to capture the flavors, traditions, and María’s memories of New Year in Jerez de la Frontera, the home of sherry wine.”

Few beverages are more entrenched in the holiday season than eggnog. This seasonal classic is made with milk, egg yolks, sugar, cream, and whipped egg whites. It’s creamy and often gently spiced with nutmeg or other spices. If that’s not enough, many people enjoy elevating it by adding whiskey.

And while you can go to your local grocery store and grab a carton of eggnog and add some of your favorite bourbon, it’s boring. Luckily, the folks at Elijah Craig have a seasonal cocktail kit perfect for fans of the boozy holiday treat looking for an update on the classic drink.
