TIME : SPACE Mastery is a distillation of 200 years of learned craft, woven seamlessly into every part of the whisky-making process. It celebrates community at its core, as every hand, every heart involved shapes this remarkable spirit. Through the rugged journey of discovery, where barley meets sherry-seasoned grapes, and where extraordinary oak casks are given purpose, we reach our village—a place where dedicated caretakers bring all these elements together into a single, masterful whisky.

The heritage of our casks is unparalleled; each oak barrel meticulously chosen, each filled with care. Our bespoke sherry-seasoned European oak casks add a character that defines our signature style, capturing the deep soul of The Macallan.

In the spirit of our whisky forebears and with a vast variety of cask styles, we’ve crafted a single malt that offers layer upon layer of intricate aromas, textures, and flavors. As Euan Kennedy, our Lead Whisky Maker, notes, “Inspired by past masters, we’ve scoured our warehouses to unlock a symphony of influences from oak origin, seasoning, cask size, and distillery character—all bound together in this truly exceptional bottle. The European oak heart reveals the essence of TIME : SPACE. Allow whisky the time, the freedom to flourish, and you reach unprecedented heights.”

This masterpiece is presented within a bespoke box adorned with 200 precisely crafted spikes, each nodding to the intricate artistry of origami—a fitting tribute to the careful guardianship of our cherished legacy. Within, a circular vessel embodies life’s unending cycle, honoring The Macallan’s timeless heritage.

Official tasting note ()

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.
