Barley : Glorious fields of spiky red barley stretch out before us in the early scenes of the liME : SPace Mastery , When chopped oy the sickle , the energy turns these already spiky elements even more so .
To mark 200 Years Young , 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 craftmanship .
The first is TIME : SPACE – a dual chamber vessel that includes the oldest whisky released by The Macallan at 84 Years Old , as well as a second single malt that marks the first from the brand ’ s new distillery . The second release , TIME : SPACE Mastery , is a unique single malt with layers of complexity that embraces 200 years of history . Both releases are symbolic expressions of The Macallan , shaped by an ongoing dedication to incomparable craftsmanship and creativity , while highlighting a deep connection to nature . The Macallan has designed both creations in TIME : SPACE COLLEC- TION 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 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 % 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 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 % 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 .
