200th Anniversary Edition | 43.4% | One of only 200 worldwide
Some whiskies are rare. Others are historic.
The Macallan 84 Years Old 1940 – Time : Space belongs to a category beyond both.
Created to mark The Macallan’s 200th anniversary, this extraordinary release represents one of the oldest single malt Scotch whiskies ever made available. Distilled in 1940, matured for over eight decades, and released in only 200 bottles worldwide, this is not simply a whisky — it is a once-in-a-generation artefact.
The Macallan: two centuries of uncompromising excellence
Founded in 1824, The Macallan has built its reputation on an obsessive focus on quality. From its small copper stills to its unparalleled approach to oak cask management, every decision at the distillery is made with longevity in mind.
Very few producers possess stocks capable of reaching such extreme ages with balance intact. The existence of an 84-year-old Macallan is a testament to the distillery’s philosophy: patience, precision and an unwavering respect for time.
Time : Space – a concept rooted in heritage
The name Time : Space reflects more than ageing. It symbolises the journey of whisky through decades, generations and changing worlds.
Distilled during the Second World War, this spirit has quietly matured while history unfolded around it. Wars ended, industries transformed, and whisky itself evolved — yet this cask remained, untouched, developing layer by layer into something profoundly rare.
This release was created specifically to honour The Macallan’s bicentenary, making it both a celebration of the past and a statement for the future.
The whisky: 84 years of quiet complexity
At this age, whisky is no longer about intensity. It is about harmony, depth and restraint.
After 84 years of maturation, the spirit reveals an elegance that only time can create. Expect a profile shaped by:
-
deeply polished antique oak
-
dark dried fruits
-
gentle spice and warmth
-
subtle sweetness
-
a long, calm and resonant finish
Bottled at 43.4% ABV, the strength preserves structure while allowing the delicate, time-shaped character to remain beautifully composed.
This is a whisky to approach slowly, thoughtfully, and with respect.
Design as an extension of the story
The presentation of Time : Space mirrors its significance. The decanter and surrounding structure are sculptural, architectural and symbolic — reflecting the passage of time and the continuity of The Macallan’s craft.
This is not packaging. It is part of the narrative, designed to stand alongside the liquid as an object worthy of preservation.
One of only 200 bottles worldwide
Only 200 bottles of The Macallan 84 Years Old 1940 – Time : Space exist globally. That scarcity, combined with its age, historical context and anniversary significance, places this release among the most important modern Macallan bottlings.
For collectors, this bottle represents:
-
one of the oldest Macallans ever released
-
a milestone marking 200 years of the distillery
-
an irreplaceable piece of whisky history
-
a true museum-level acquisition
A legacy piece for the most serious collections
This is not a whisky purchased lightly. It is acquired with intent — to be preserved, curated and passed on.
Whether it becomes the centrepiece of a world-class whisky collection, a generational heirloom, or a defining statement of appreciation for the art of whisky making, The Macallan 84 Years Old – Time : Space stands alone.
