Whether enjoyed neat or with light mixers, Litha offers a distinct profile that is both refreshing and refined.

🥃 Product Overview
Distilled at The Macallan Estate in Speyside, Scotland, Litha is matured in a combination of carefully selected oak casks — often including European and American sherry-seasoned wood alongside ex-bourbon influence — to accentuate bright fruit, soft spice, and subtle oak depth. Bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof) in a 700 mL presentation, this release embodies both balance and brightness, making it a welcoming choice for new whisky drinkers and seasoned aficionados seeking a lighter, fruit-led expression from one of Scotland’s most esteemed distilleries.
