Macallan 1940 TIME:SPACE 84 Year Old
Subtitle (S1)
Released in the autumn of 2024, TIME:SPACE was the flagship release in the collection of the same name that celebrated the 200th anniversary of Macallan distillery. The set contains a ground-breaking 84-year-old expression, drawn from two casks filled on 1st January 1940 and at the time of bottling the oldest single malt Scotch in the world. It also contained the first mature spirit from the new Macallan distillery which opened in 2018. The collection aimed to "pay homage to the distillery's past, and embrace the future." Each release was accompanied with a short interactive animated experience, with an original score from Scottish composer Craig Armstrong.
A high-concept presentation, TIME:SPACE was intended to evoke images of a time machine, with the 84-year-old whisky housed in its outer ring and the 5-year-old contained within a removable inner chamber. Both are contained within a wooden sculpture made of American and European oak and featuring a 200-spike design (one for each year of the distillery's history).
