In the central chamber is a 2018 vintage, the first whisky from The Macallan’s new distillery. This 5 Year Old has vibrant notes of fresh green apple and ripe pears giving way to golden sultanas and baked apples on the palate before a creamy medium finish with hints of sweet oak. Bottled at 54.9% ABV it is displayed in an oak sculpture designed to accentuate the whisky’s natural colour.
What is truly beguiling is the TIME:SPACE Mastery, a one-of-a-kind release that blends 14 exceptional cask types to create layers of complexity and an incredible depth of aroma, texture and flavour. A sumptuous nose of dates, baked figs and rich milk chocolate is accompanied by hints of honey, tropical dried mango and ripe papaya. The palate is redolent of sherry-soaked dried fruits, orange marmalade and ginger honeycomb with spices before finishing as bursts of caramelised pineapple and creamy vanilla laced with subtle dark chocolate and coffee. This whisky is housed in a circular vessel representing the circle of life with a presentation case in vibrant red colour and 200 spikes that is symbolic of how nature protects the most fragile and precious.
Ferras said: “The introduction of TIME:SPACE Collection is an incredible way to pay respect to our 200th anniversary by celebrating the significance of those who have come before us, yet it is also a symbol of anticipation of what is to come, as we build upon our heritage and look to times ahead.”
