Macallan Releases its Oldest Rare Whisky
- Macallan releases an 84-year-old whisky for its 200th anniversary.
- The TIME : SPACE collection pairs a 1940 vintage with a 2018 malt.
- Priced at £190,000, this rare whisky is highly sought after by collectors.
The Macallan has once again set a new benchmark in the whisky world with the release of its oldest-ever single malt, an 84-year-old expression. This rare whisky, part of The Macallan’s 200th-anniversary celebrations, offers collectors an unparalleled opportunity to own a piece of history.
With just 200 bottles available globally, the 84-year-old release has already generated significant interest. Its scarcity, coupled with the expert craftsmanship and historical significance, ensures it is one of the most highly anticipated whisky releases in recent years.
The 84-year-old whisky is part of the TIME : SPACE collection, which uniquely features two expressions. The first, a 1940 vintage, has matured in sherry-seasoned American and European oak casks for over eight decades. This whisky represents The Macallan’s rich history and centuries-old dedication to quality craftsmanship.
In contrast, the second expression is a much younger five-year-old whisky, distilled in 2018 at The Macallan’s modern distillery. Housed together in an innovative dual-chamber vessel, the collection symbolises the brand’s blend of tradition and forward-thinking, capturing the passing of time and the evolution of whisky-making.
