🏆Leiper's Fork Bourbon Whiskey Bottled In Bond was the overall winner of the 2024 W Club Members' Choice Awards 🏆

This five-year-old bourbon has a rich aroma of freshly made chocolate pralines, beautifully blended with notes of antique oak and fig jam. Delightfully rich flavors of butterscotch, sweet herbs, and dried citrus smoothly coats the palate, before a complex finish of fresh mint, luxardo cherries and maple cinnamon cookies.

Find out how this delicious dram came to be in our latest podcast:

For TIME : SPACE Mastery, The Macallan has taken inspiration from the past 200 years of whisky masters and the variety of different casks styles available to create layers of complexity with incredible depth of aroma, texture and flavour.

Housed in a uniquely crafted circular vessel symbolising the circle of life and the ongoing journey from the past to the future, TIME : SPACE Mastery is a testament to The Macallan's enduring legacy of excellence. Bottled at 43.6% abv.
On the nose, there are aromas of Medjool dates, sweet baked figs and rich milk chocolate, which are accompanied by delicate hints of honey and tropical character. The palate shines with sweet sherry-seasoned dried fruits, orange marmalade and honeycomb, alongside notes of ginger and cinnamon before bursts of caramelised pineapple and creamy vanilla on the finish.
