Macallan A Night On Earth In Scotland - 70cl

The Macallan A Night on Earth in Scotland is een limited-edition single malt whisky gemaakt in samenwerking met de gerenommeerde Frans-Japanse illustrator Erica Dorn. Oorspronkelijk uitgebracht eind 2021, markeert deze expression het eerste hoofdstuk in de prestigieuze jaarlijkse cadeauserie van de Speyside-distilleerderij. Het concept en ontwerp eren Hogmanay, de beroemde en warme Nieuwjaarsviering van Schotland.
The Design by Erica DornKnown for her graphic design work on director Wes Anderson's films (such as Isle of Dogs and The French Dispatch), Erica Dorn developed an innovative multi-layered packaging to provide a unique visual experience when opening the box.Fire inspiration: The abstract colors and illustrations were inspired by the historic fire rituals dominant in New Year celebrations around the world.Symbolic colors: The orange-red exterior symbolizes embers and the warmth of the home, while the blue interior reveals the Scottish night sky and the tradition of "first footing" (the first step taken into someone's home after midnight).
