About this bottle
The whisky derives its name from the solstice, known by the ancient Celts as Litha. It is an extraordinary single malt which captures our unwavering dedication to uncompromised excellence, and the powerful synergy that occurs when two forces come together.
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 journey of Macallan's exceptional sherry seasoned oak casks begins in the vineyards of Jerez de la Frontera where the Andalucian sun grows the grapes that go on to become sherry, which seasons their casks. They continue their journey to The Macallan Estate, in Scotland, where they are filled with The Macallan fruity new make spirit and the meeting of two worlds begins.
The Macallan Litha was initially available from August 2023 in China and with all The Macallan expressions, as a dram at The Macallan Bar on The Macallan Estate.
