The Macallan Time : Space Mastery
Embracing 200 years of heritage, TIME : SPACE Mastery is a testament to our commitment to craftsmanship and innovation.
TIME : SPACE Mastery took inspiration from past whisky masters and the variety of different casks styles available to create layers of complexity with incredible depth of aroma, texture and flavour. Housed in a uniquely crafted circular vessel symbolising the circle of life and the ongoing journey from the past to the future, TIME : SPACE Mastery is a testament to The Macallan’s enduring legacy of excellence. TIME : SPACE Mastery integrates everything we have learned on our 200 years long journey directly into the whisky-making process, emphasising the importance of community in crafting a product of this calibre. Our voyage through a spiky red world highlights key ingredients; barley, grapes for sherry seasoning and our exceptional oak casks, culminating in our village, where a community of caretakers assemble these elements into a singular offering.
WHISKY MASTERY
We have meticulously sourced and filled the most exceptional oak casks throughout our storied history. Our distinctive whisky style is imbued by the craftsmanship of our bespoke sherry seasoned European oak casks. Drawing inspiration from the legacies of past whisky masters and the diverse array of cask styles at our disposal, we craft layers of complexity, creating an incredible depth of aroma, texture and flavour.
The Experience
Colour:
Warm cherry.
Nose:
Sumptuous Medjool dates, sweet baked figs and rich milk chocolate accompanied by delicate hints of honey and tropical character, reminiscent of dried mango and ripe papaya. Encapsulated by complex sweet oak.
Palate:
A real sweetness is evident with sherry-seasoned dried fruits, orange marmalade and honeycomb. Soft spiced notes of ginger and cinnamon develop.
Finish:
Bursts of caramelised pineapple and creamy vanilla linger with the exquisite balance of subtle dark chocolate and coffee.
ABV:
43.6%
“Inspired by past masters, we have explored the full extent of our warehouses to capture the complex influences of seasoning, oak origin, cask size and distillery character in one incredibly special bottle of whisky – with the European Oak character sitting at its heart. When you give whisky the time and space to evolve, develop and flourish in optimally selected casks, you allow it to achieve exceptional heights.”
