The Macallan Time Space 84 Year Old
This extraordinary release features an exceptionally rare 1940 vintage, bottled in 2024. Matured for over eight decades, at 84 years old it is the oldest whisky ever released by The Macallan.
Paired with this is the inaugural whisky from our Distillery which opened in 2018, a remarkable 2018 vintage, bottled in 2024 and representing the future.
The vessel for TIME : SPACE is a ground-breaking dual chamber where the exceptional whiskies form the heart of the piece, brought to life stylistically with the idea of time travel in a retro futuristic way.
Inspired by our 200-year milestone, The Macallan hascreated a world where time ebbs and flows and natureprotects what is most precious, with spikes protecting whatis beautiful and fragile.
In TIME : SPACE, we explore The Macallan’s historic ties with nature, encountering flora and fauna such as the thistle, which is Scotland’s national emblem. We also see the majestic Andalusian horses, linked to the cooperages of Jerez, Spain, and the peacock, a symbol of natural colour for the brand. Our journey delves beneath the crystal-clear waters of ariver inspired by the River Spey, and ends with a dramaticeclipse that reveals the TIME : SPACE vessel.
New Horizons
The single malt housed in the central chamber represents the future. This 2018 vintage bottled in 2024 is five years old.
This is a key moment in our history, as this is the first ever release of a whisky distilled in our Distillery, which opened the same year.
The character of TIME : SPACE 2018 vintage is incredibly well developed. This is partly as a result of the decision to use sherry-seasoned American oak hogsheads for this particular maturation.
