TradeThe Macallan Time:
Space Sherry Cask
The Macallan gets even closer to the sherry
Sherried Macallan is nothing new, but The Macallan TIME : SPACE Sherry Cask takes the maturation process where none of its whisky has gone before.
The Macallan Time Space Sherry Cask
This is the first release influenced by casks seasoned with its own Valdespino sherry, following The Macallan becoming a co-owner of the vineyards in Jerez. For a distillery whose whisky owes so much to sherry-seasoned oak, it's a fascinating development, one that's sure to intrigue fans of the distillery.
In 2024, The Macallan marked its 200th birthday by filling its first 200 casks seasoned with Valdespino sherry. Most will be left to mature whisky for decades yet. A small number were selected for this release. The whisky had already spent at least 20 years in bespoke sherry-seasoned casks before its further rest in the Valdespino-seasoned oak.

About The Macallan
The 485-acre Macallan estate lies within an area of natural beauty in the heart of Speyside, producing whisky with their curiously small stills that ensure maximum copper contact, shaping the rich, fruity spirit. This spirit is then aged in exceptional, distinctive oak casks of the highest quality, which are all seasoned with sherry in Jerez De La Frontera, Spain.
All of The Macallan's whiskies are bottled at natural colour, put together by the master whisky maker whose skill and craftsmanship is typical of the mastery exhibited throughout the entire process. All these points make up The Macallan's Six Pillars: the very foundation stones of this iconic single malt Scotch whisky.
