If you’re a fan of the Macallan, you probably eagerly await the limited-release expressions from this iconic single malt Scotch distillery.

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.”

These same whisky drinkers will be excited to learn that the Isle of Harris Distillery is releasing its second permanent expression in The Hearach single malt series, The Hearach Oloroso Cask Matured.

It matured entirely in first-fill Oloroso sherry butts from Bodega José y Miguel Martín in Jerez de la Frontera, Andalusia, Spain. The result is a lightly peated expression known for its flavor profile of candied orange peels, sweet sherry, wintry spices, candied nuts, and just a wisp of robust campfire smoke to balance everything nicely.

Doctor up your favorite spirit
Negroni trio at Orafo.

A simple infusion can change everything. Sure, there's flavored alcohol like raspberry vodka and the like but it's far more fun—and interesting—to make your own. And no, we're not talking about notoriously bad ideas like nacho cheese flavored spirits. Instead, think mushroom-injected vodka, coffee-infused vermouth, and pepper-treated tequila.

These infusions can make a regular spirit all the more dynamic, improving classic cocktails like the Negroni and paving the way for brand new ones too. Perhaps best, they're relatively easy to make and don't take nearly as much time as you might think.
