The Macallan Time : Space Collection – A 200th Anniversary Masterpiece

Marking 200 years, The Macallan’s Time : Space pairs a rare 1940 vintage (84 years, Macallan’s oldest) with a 2018 release in a dual-chamber, halo decanter. Limited to 200 sets with 200 symbolic spikes, it’s a collector’s dream—ideal with a Cohiba Behike BHK.

The Macallan Time : Space Collection – A 200th Anniversary Masterpiece

To mark its 200th anniversary, The Macallan unveils the Time : Space Collection, a stunning homage to its storied past and visionary future, perfect for aficionados who appreciate the finer things—like a premium cigar pairing.

A Tale of Two Whiskies: 1940 and 2018

This remarkable release showcases two distinct expressions. The first is an ultra-rare 1940 vintage, bottled in 2024 after maturing for an astounding 84 years—making it the oldest whisky ever released by The Macallan, surpassing the previous record held by The Macallan Reach. Alongside it is the inaugural whisky from The Macallan’s new distillery, opened in 2018. This 2018 vintage, bottled in 2024 at 5 years old, symbolizes the distillery’s future while staying true to The Macallan’s classic character.

Innovative Design: A Dual-Chamber Marvel

The Time : Space release is housed in a revolutionary dual-chamber vessel, blending retro-futuristic aesthetics with the concept of time travel. The halo-shaped decanter, containing the 84-year-old whisky, is designed to never rest flat—encouraging a mindful connection between the owner and the liquid. As Ferras notes via email, “The circular design ensures it can’t be set down carelessly, fostering a sense of care when handling.” Nestled within the halo’s center is a second bottle, holding the 2018 vintage—a nod to the distillery’s next chapter.

A Limited Legacy: Only 200 Available

With just 200 sets produced, this release is as exclusive as it gets. The presentation is equally striking, featuring 200 spikes that symbolize The Macallan’s 200-year legacy. Ferras elaborates, “Nature protects its future with defenses like thorns and spikes—seen in the burrs of chestnuts, thorny roses, and Scotland’s thistle on The Macallan Estate.” These spikes reflect the resilience of nature, safeguarding this historic release.

Is It Worth the Investment?

The Time : Space Collection is a collector’s dream, with unparalleled presentation and whiskies that are truly one-of-a-kind. If you’re a Macallan enthusiast with the means to own a piece of history—perhaps to pair with a Cohiba Behike BHK while savoring the moment—this is a worthy addition to your collection.
