What does Litha mean?

Litha is the ancient Celtic name for the summer solstice - a symbol of light and the meeting of two forces, reflected in the whisky's radiant character and its theme of uniting Scotland and Spain.

What casks is it matured in?

Exclusively 100% first-fill sherry-seasoned oak casks from Jerez de la Frontera, Spain, with natural colour and no added colouring.

How does Litha differ from the core Macallan range?

Litha uses only first-fill sherry-seasoned oak, where expressions like the Double Cask combine American and European oak. The result is a brighter, fruit-forward, approachable profile at 40% ABV.

The Macallan Litha is a limited single malt matured exclusively in 100% first-fill sherry-seasoned oak casks from Jerez de la Frontera, Spain — a radiant, fruit-forward expression named for the ancient Celtic summer solstice festival, first released in 2023.

Litha celebrates the meeting of two worlds: Scottish spirit and Spanish oak. The story begins in the vineyards of Jerez de la Frontera, where the sherry-seasoned casks are crafted to The Macallan's specification before travelling to the Easter Elchies estate to be filled with new-make spirit. Maturation entirely in first-fill sherry-seasoned oak gives Litha its deep gold colour — natural, with no added colouring — and a lush, approachable character. The bottle's artwork, by artist Sija Hong, uses a central tree motif and a blue-and-red palette to represent the union of Scotland and Spain.
