The Macallan Introduces Time: Space Collection

To mark its 200 years, The Macallan is releasing two unique new whiskies in a celebration of the brand's interpretation of time travel through whisky mastery, presented in bespoke vessels created through cutting-edge engineering and ancient craftsmanship.

The first is TIME: SPACE – a dual chamber vessel that includes the oldest whisky released by The Macallan at 84 Years Old The second release, TIME : SPACE Mastery, is a unique single malt with layers of complexity that embraces 200 years of history. 

The Macallan has designed both creations in TIME: SPACE COLLECTION to depict nature's protection of its future, while also representing time travel with the past and future combined.

With only 200 in existence, one for each year of The Macallan's History, TIME: SPACE captures the essence of time travel – a spirit spanning incomparable craft across generations. The vessel has been designed with two chambers to hold each of the whiskies - housed in the outer chamber is the 1940 vintage, representing the past. Two casks are meticulously hand selected - a first fill American Oak Butt and second fill European Oak Butt - both seasoned with sherry in Jerez de la Frontera and matured peacefully surrounded by nature in Speyside, Scotland.

Bottled at 43.6 percent ABV, an extraordinary 84 years of maturation has produced rich natural colour, exceptional depth and richness and full, long-lasting flavour unique to this rare, aged single malt Scotch whisky.

As a counterpart, the single malt housed in the central chamber is a 2018 vintage, marking a significant milestone as the first ever whisky from The Macallan's new distillery - a nod to the future of the brand and its commitment to excellence in its whiskies. During the transition to the new distillery in 2018, The Macallan went to exacting standards to secure the continuity of the single malt quality and signature taste.

The unique vessel is displayed in an oak sculpture which has been purposefully designed to accentuate the 100 percent natural colour of the whisky, and alternate layers of American oak and European oak have been selected to craft the display sculpture, as a homage to the brand's commitment to sherry seasoned oak casks.
