About the product
The Macallan TIME : SPACE Sherry Cask is a 20-year-old single malt Scotch whisky and the third chapter in The Macallan’s TIME : SPACE Collection. Released in 2026, this exceptional expression represents a new milestone in The Macallan’s long-standing relationship with sherry-seasoned oak. The whisky was matured predominantly in European oak sherry-seasoned casks at The Macallan Estate in Speyside before being married in a selection of the first 200 casks seasoned with The Macallan’s own Valdespino sherry in Jerez de la Frontera, Spain. Bottled at 44.8% ABV with natural colour, it delivers a rich and layered character with dried fruits, dark chocolate, ginger cake, treacle toffee, warming spices and gentle oak. Presented in the distinctive circular TIME : SPACE vessel, this limited 2026 release is designed for both whisky collectors and enthusiasts seeking a highly distinctive expression from The Macallan.
