The Macallan 84 Years Old 1940 2024 Time : Space - 200th Anniversary 43.4% (1 of 200)

What makes The Macallan 84 Years Old 1940 TIME : SPACE so unique?
TIME : SPACE is The Macallan’s most dramatic statement on patience and legacy: a single malt distilled in 1940 and matured for a full 84 years, before being bottled in 2024. That’s not just “well-aged”, it’s whisky that has lived through generations, shaped slowly and relentlessly by oak and time.

It is also extraordinarily scarce: only 200 sets were produced worldwide, created as a tribute to The Macallan’s 200th anniversary, essentially one set for each year of the distillery’s history.

In terms of significance, this 84-year-old release sits right at the summit of whisky history. At launch, it was widely presented as the oldest whisky ever released by The Macallan and even described as the oldest single malt Scotch in the world at the time of bottling.

Since then, an 85-year-old single malt release (Gordon & MacPhail) has been reported, which is why collectors now often refer to Macallan TIME : SPACE 84 as among the oldest ever and effectively the next in line in the “oldest bottled whisky” conversation.

And then there’s the sculpture, not packaging, but a centrepiece. The design is a dual-chamber vessel: the 84-year-old whisky sits in the outer ring, while an inner chamber holds a younger spirit distilled at The Macallan’s new distillery (opened in 2018), creating a literal past-and-future pairing in one object. The set is housed in an elaborate oak display that references time itself, including details like 200 spikes, each representing a year of The Macallan’s story.

What makes The Macallan distillery truly unique?
The Macallan has always stood apart in Scotch whisky, not through volume, but through obsession with quality. From its historic Speyside estate to its uncompromising approach to wood selection and maturation, The Macallan builds whisky with a long view, sometimes spanning lifetimes.

Unlike many distilleries, The Macallan controls nearly every step of the process: from barley sourcing and distillation style to one of the most exacting cask programmes in the industry. This meticulous philosophy is what allows whiskies like the 1940 TIME : SPACE to exist at all, spirits created with the confidence that patience will one day be rewarded.
