The Macallan A Night on Earth The First Light

A tribute to the first light

“The First Light” is not just about whisky, but about moods, emotions and beginnings. Bonnie Brown’s colourful illustrations on the packaging reflect the natural beauty of New Zealand and the special atmosphere of sunrise on the first day of the year. The visual narrative accompanies a whisky that is designed to evoke memories – and perhaps create new ones.
