200 Years Young And Counting

The Macallan celebrates its incredible legacy with the stellar TIME:SPACE Collection.

The conquering of time never fails to be at the top of humanity's to-do list. Like Michael Phelps at his peak, time is baffling, speedy and hard to beat. Even the best time travel films and anti-ageing enthusiasts (read Bryan Johnson) show us that time's prison is inescapable, but the good news is that every future has a history. Knowing the past is how you determine the future.

The Macallan's history is distinguished by many pioneers. They include Alexander Reid, the founder responsible for distilling its first drops of whisky on its tranquil Speyside estate. Two centuries have passed since that day and there's no better time than now to reflect on its 200-year-young legacy, achievements and future accomplishments.

It's a time that calls for celebration and, as such, the TIME:SPACE Collection, launched with two unique releases. Both are symbolic expressions of The Macallan, shaped by a love of nature and an endless dedication to unique craftsmanship and creativity.

Travel through time, sip by sip

The first release, known as TIME:SPACE, is a dual-chamber vessel that captures the essence of time travel perfectly. Only 200 bottles are available—one for each year of The Macallan’s history and journey through the decades—and each is displayed in a gorgeous oak sculpture that accentuates the all-natural colour of the whisky. Alternate layers of American and European oak make up the sculpture, paying homage to the brand’s commitment to sherry-seasoned oak casks.
