An incomparable whisky exclusively matured in first fill sherry seasoned oak casks from Jerez de la Frontera, Spain.

The Macallan Litha represents the coming together of two worlds – Scotland and Spain – to create an incomparable single malt whisky.

The complex flavour of The Macallan Litha is derived from the use of first fill sherry seasoned oak casks from Jerez De La Frontera, Spain, the whisky mingling with the sherry seasoned oak to deliver its unique character.

The Macallan Litha is available from August 2023 initially in China, and with all The Macallan expressions, as a dram at The Macallan Bar on The Macallan Estate.

THE STORY BEHIND THE NAME

Litha means light and it was the name that the Celts gave to the summer solstice.

The solstice is a tipping point. When two forces meet for the first time, it sparks a shift in the balance of nature. It is a powerful instant, an eternal first encounter that changes everything. It makes the days longer, bringing new light, new life, and it has been celebrated since antiquity by countless cultures across the world.

The Whisky Flavours
TROPICAL FRUITS, CHOCOLATE, SWEET OAK

The unique character and complex flavours of The Macallan Litha is derived from the use of first fill sherry seasoned oak casks, the whisky mingling with the sherry seasoned oak.

The gentle scent of vanilla and butterscotch unites with a spark of citrus over a bright canvas of tropical fruits, reminiscent of a summer’s day and the radiance of the sun’s energy.

As the flavour develops, smooth vanilla ice cream topped with a berry compote dances on the palate, beautifully balanced with warming wood spice, chocolate, salted caramel and pecans, with a lingering hint of sweet oak.
