Part of the TIME:SPACE collection launched in 2023, this release represents one of the most ambitious projects in The Macallan's nearly two-century history, bridging the legacy of the original Easter Elchies distillery with the brand's state-of-the-art facility opened in 2018.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuick Facts:\u003c\/strong\u003e ABV: 43%  |  Origin: Speyside, Highland, Scotland  |  NAS — Ultra-Premium Limited Edition  |  Distillery: The Macallan\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eProduction \u0026amp; Heritage\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe Macallan was founded in 1824 by Alexander Reid on the Easter Elchies estate in Craigellachie, Speyside, and is now owned by the Edrington Group. The TIME:SPACE collection was conceived to connect the distillery's storied past with its future — pairing spirit from the original distillery with whisky from the striking new facility designed by Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners, which opened in June 2018. The sherry expression reflects The Macallan's signature commitment to sherry-seasoned European oak casks, sourced through the brand's meticulous wood management program in Jerez, Spain. These casks are seasoned with dry oloroso sherry for approximately two years before being filled with new-make spirit, a process that defines The Macallan's house style.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e Concentrated dried fruit — raisin, fig, and date — emerges first, followed by waves of dark chocolate, polished oak, and baking spice. A subtle undercurrent of orange peel and old leather develops with time in the glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTaste:\u003c\/strong\u003e The entry is lush and full-bodied, delivering rich fruitcake, stewed plum, and treacle toffee across the palate. At mid-palate, layers of clove, cinnamon bark, and candied ginger build complexity. A pronounced European oak influence carries nutmeg and dark cocoa through to the peak, balanced by a thread of citrus acidity that prevents heaviness.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Exceptionally long, with lingering dried fruit, espresso, and antique wood tannins. The sherry cask influence persists as a gentle warmth, fading slowly into polished mahogany and sweet pipe tobacco.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eHow to Drink TIME:SPACE Sherry\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eA whisky of this caliber and rarity is best appreciated neat in a tulip-shaped nosing glass, allowing the complex sherry cask character to unfold over an extended session. A few drops of still water may open additional aromatic layers without diminishing the palate weight. Given its ultra-premium positioning, cocktail use is not recommended — this is a contemplative dram meant to be savored slowly.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eBest For\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eCelebrating a once-in-a-lifetime milestone such as a retirement, major anniversary, or landmark achievement\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eBuilding a serious whisky collection with rare, limited-edition expressions\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eGifting a dedicated Macallan collector or single malt connoisseur\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eHosting an intimate tasting session focused on ultra-premium Scotch\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does TIME:SPACE Sherry taste like?\u003c\/strong\u003e TIME:SPACE Sherry delivers a deeply concentrated sherry cask profile dominated by dried fruit, dark chocolate, baking spice, and old European oak.

The Macallan M, crafted by master whisky maker Bob Dalgarno and presented in a Lalique decanter, focuses on showcasing a selection of aged casks from the existing inventory without the same conceptual narrative.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs TIME:SPACE Sherry good for sipping neat?\u003c\/strong\u003e Absolutely — this is designed exclusively as a neat sipping whisky, and its extraordinary depth and complexity reward patient, unhurried tasting.

A well-aged Manchego or Comté cheese mirrors the nutty oak character. Dates stuffed with marcona almonds echo the concentrated fruit profile. Christmas cake or mince pies align with the fruitcake and spice qualities. Charcuterie featuring aged Ibérico ham provides a savory counterpoint to the whisky's sweetness.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat sizes does TIME:SPACE Sherry come in?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Macallan TIME:SPACE Sherry is available in a 700ml format as part of the TIME:SPACE collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs TIME:SPACE Sherry worth the price?\u003c\/strong\u003e TIME:SPACE Sherry positions firmly in the ultra-premium luxury tier of single malt Scotch, reflecting its extreme rarity, historical significance to The Macallan distillery, and the exceptional quality of the sherry-seasoned casks used.

The sherry cask expression showcases the defining pillar of The Macallan's identity: its uncompromising dedication to sherry-seasoned European oak, a program that has set the benchmark for the entire Scotch whisky industry. This is not a blending exercise or a standard age-statement release — it is a singular statement of place, time, and craft. For collectors and enthusiasts seeking a whisky that carries genuine historical weight alongside extraordinary liquid quality, TIME:SPACE Sherry occupies rare ground that few expressions in the world can match.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Macallan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48663815880873,"sku":"42610","price":1499.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/theliquorbarn.com\/products\/macallan-time-space-sherry-700ml","provider":"The Liquor Barn","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
