The Macallan Litha Single Malt Scotch 700mL

The Macallan Litha Single Malt Scotch is a limited-edition single malt celebrating the meeting of two worlds: Scotland and Jerez de la Frontera, Spain. The name Litha is associated with the summer solstice, reflecting themes of light, warmth, and connection. This distinctive expression was matured exclusively in first-fill sherry-seasoned American oak casks, bringing together The Macallan’s Speyside spirit with the sweet, vibrant character imparted by American oak. Bottled at 80 proof (40% ABV), Litha was originally created as an exclusive release for the Chinese market.

The nose is inviting with vanilla, butterscotch, tropical fruit, citrus, and light oak. The palate develops layers of vanilla, caramel, ripe fruit, lemon, toasted oak, and gentle spice, creating a creamy and approachable character. The finish is smooth and lingering, with vanilla sweetness, fruit, warming spice, and soft oak.
