TIME : SPACE Sherry Cask
The Macallan TIME : SPACE Sherry Cask is the first whisky to be influenced by casks seasoned with Valdespino sherry wine, since coming under The Macallan’s ownership. It also marks the first time Valdespino sherry has been used to season oak casks for The Macallan.
A demonstration of The Macallan’s Mastery Beyond Reason, this whisky celebrates a shared future with Valdespino, deepening the brand’s enduring connection to the home of sherry wine, Jerez de la Frontera, Spain.
TIME : SPACE Sherry Cask began its journey on The Macallan Estate, with a selection of predominantly European oak sherry-seasoned casks, carefully curated by The Macallan Whisky Mastery Team.
The whisky was then elevated through marrying in a selection of the first 200 sherry casks seasoned in The Macallan's Valdespino bodega in Jerez de la Frontera, Spain. Crafted in The Macallan's own cooperages in Jerez de la Frontera and shipped to Scotland for filling in 2024 during the brand's 200th anniversary year, these exceptional casks represent a milestone in The Macallan's history. While most will continue their journey maturing whisky for generations to come, a select few were chosen to impart a distinctive second chapter of sherry cask influence to TIME : SPACE Sherry Cask.
A 20 Years Old single malt Scotch whisky bottled at 44.8% ABV, TIME : SPACE Sherry Cask presents a rich yet refined character. On the nose, a medley of sherry-soaked raisins, figs and medjool dates is complemented by sweet frangipane, cinder toffee and caramelised nuts, with dark chocolate truffles and warming spices adding further depth.
“TIME : SPACE Sherry Cask is a reflection of our enduring commitment to mastery, craftsmanship and the remarkable influence of our sherry casks. From our vineyards of Jerez de la Frontera to The Macallan Estate in Speyside, every element of this expression speaks to our Mastery Beyond Reason philosophy - bringing together nature, time and generations of expertise. It honours the foundations that have shaped The Macallan for over two centuries while looking forward to the possibilities that lie ahead.”
