Imagine holding in your hands a dual-chamber vessel—one side cradling a whisky that has been resting in oak casks for an incredible 84 years, and the other, a fresh, vibrant single malt from the new Macallan distillery, distilled in 2018. Expertly crafted into one vessel, this duality of past and future gives TIME: SPACE its magical essence. With only 200 of these vessels, each piece represents every year of The Macallan’s 200-year legacy.

  • The 1940 Vintage

The whisky resting in the outer chamber is a single malt distilled in 1940 and nurtured for 84 years. Bottled at 43.6% ABV, this rare gem offers a sensory experience like no other. Imagine the depth and richness of flavours developed over eight decades. 

  • The 2018 Vintage

In contrast, the inner chamber houses a vibrant, youthful spirit—the first-ever release from The Macallan’s new distillery, distilled in 2018 and aged for just 5 years. But don’t let its youth fool you. Bottled at a robust 54.9% ABV, this single malt is a lively expression of The Macallan’s future. 

  • TIME: SPACE Mastery

For those who crave complexity, The Macallan has created TIME: SPACE Mastery, a one-of-a-kind single malt that celebrates 200 years of whisky mastery. This whisky is an authentic exploration of flavour and texture, influenced by 14 different types of exceptional casks.

The vessels housing these whiskies are as extraordinary as the spirits themselves. Inspired by the natural world, they feature dual chambers encased in oak sculptures crafted from alternating layers of American and European oak. It is also a homage to the casks that shape The Macallan’s signature taste. 

For whisky connoisseurs, the opportunity to taste these rare spirits is a dream come true. With only 200 vessels available, each invitation to purchase is a treasure, much like the whisky itself. In the whisky world, The Macallan is making waves, too, with a global marketing campaign that will take place in iconic locations like Las Vegas’ The Sphere and London’s Piccadilly Circus.

This is not just whisky—it’s history in a glass and a future yet to be written. Will you be part of the journey?
