Macallan masterclass at The Whisky Library
January 14, 2026
Mark the year’s first moments with The Macallan A Night on Earth: The First Light masterclass at The Whisky Library. The home to Manila’s largest whisky collection opens the year with a dedicated Macallan masterclass anchored on A Night on Earth: The First Light, a limited-edition single malt inspired by the first sunrise of the year. Taking place on January 21, from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM, the masterclass is guided by The Macallan brand expert Hans Eckstein and is designed as an exploration of how time, place, and tradition shape whisky.
The evening features a curated tasting of four expressions from The Macallan’s A Night on Earth collection: A Night on Earth in Scotland, The Journey, The First Light, and A Night on Earth in Jerez. The A Night on Earth series examines how different cultures mark moments of celebration, translating these occasions into whisky through flavor, design, and narrative.
At the center of the experience is A Night on Earth: The First Light, a release inspired by New Zealand, among the first places in the world to witness the sunrise that begins the year. The single malt is matured in a combination of sherry-seasoned European and American oak casks, with a portion of ex-bourbon casks, resulting in a profile shaped by balance and layered character. Its presentation reflects The Macallan’s collaboration with Cirque du Soleil, extending the story of place and moment into visual form.
Designed as a structured tasting experience, the masterclass allows guests to engage with the collection through guided discussion and sensory exploration in an intimate setting.
