The Macallan Time : Space Collection: A 200th Anniversary Masterpiece
An 84-year-old whisky, a dual-chamber vessel built to never rest flat, and only 200 sets in the world — Migratory Story's Private Collection service can source this, and other rare bottles, for Hong Kong collectors on request.
Quick Take
To mark its 200th anniversary, The Macallan released Time : Space — a dual-chamber decanter pairing an ultra-rare 84-year-old whisky distilled in 1940 with a 5-year-old debut whisky from its new distillery, limited to just 200 sets worldwide and priced on request. It isn't a stocked item, so Migratory Story's Private Collection service sources it, and any other rare or allocated cigar or spirit, directly for Hong Kong clients — pair it, when it arrives, with a Cohiba Behike BHK.
The Macallan Time : Space Collection — A 200th Anniversary Masterpiece
To mark its 200th anniversary, The Macallan unveiled the Time : Space Collection — a stunning homage to its storied past and visionary future, and a natural centerpiece for collectors who appreciate the finer things, from rare single malts to 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, distilled 84 years earlier and bottled in 2024 — making it the oldest scotch whisky The Macallan has ever released, surpassing every age statement the distillery had put to market before it. Alongside it sits the inaugural whisky from The Macallan's new distillery, which opened in 2018. This 2018 vintage, bottled in 2024 at 5 years old, represents 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 dual-chamber wooden vessel finished in red, blending retro-futuristic design with the concept of time travel. The halo-shaped decanter, holding the 84-year-old whisky in its outer chamber, is built so it can never be set down flat — a serving cradle with hidden drawers and custom pourers is required to handle and pour it. As Jaume Ferras, the designer behind the piece, explains: "The circular design of the vessel does mean that it cannot be put down carelessly," fostering a deliberate, considered connection between the whisky and its owner. Nestled at the center of the halo 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 globally, this release is as exclusive as it gets. The presentation is equally striking, featuring 200 spikes on the case that symbolize The Macallan's 200-year legacy. Ferras elaborates that nature protects its future with defenses like thorns and spikes — seen in the burrs of chestnuts, thorny roses, and Scotland's thistle across The Macallan Estate. These spikes reflect the resilience of nature, safeguarding this historic release.
A Private Collection Acquisition
The Time : Space Collection is a collector's dream, with unparalleled presentation and whiskies that are truly one-of-a-kind. Pricing is not publicly listed — it's released on request, reflecting its status as one of the rarest single malts ever bottled. If you're a Macallan enthusiast with an eye for a piece of whisky history, perhaps to savor alongside a Cohiba Behike BHK, this is where Migratory Story's Private Collection service comes in.
This Is a Private Collection Piece
The Macallan Time : Space Collection is not held as standard inventory — releases like this are allocated in limited numbers directly from the distillery, and Migratory Story's team sources them individually for clients who want one. The same goes for other rare and hard-to-find cigars and spirits: if there's a specific bottle, box, or vintage you're after — Cuban, Scotch, or otherwise — tell us what you're looking for and we'll do the searching.
