The third release in its Time:Space collection, The Macallan’s Time:Space Sherry Cask single malt whisky has matured for 20 years. It’s also the first expression aged in The Macallan’s own sherry casks, originating from Spain and purchased as part of the prestige brand’s 200-year anniversary in 2024. The unique circular bottle references both the whisky’s patient role in the continuous cycle of time and the round shape of the Valdespino sherry wine’s palomino grapes. As for the packaging, the design team was inspired by the color of the illuminated grapes in the Andalusian sun to create a custom color—by mixing paints on paper and metal to achieve a hue that hits harder than any Pantone swatch could—that captures the emotion of that exact, magical moment.

Blue Bottle’s Notes in Repose is their first LP release, a work featuring 11 contemporary jazz compositions which were performed and recorded in their cafes in different markets. Participating artists include Gary Bartz with Adrian Younge and Ali Shaheed Muhammad, Makaya McCraven, Jeff Parker, Angel Bat Dawid and the Kyoto Jazz Sextet. The project was created as a way to celebrate its Signature Blends, including Giant Steps, named after John Coltrane’s seminal album. Blue Bottle views the tension of jazz akin to the blending and roasting of their coffee. The 12″ LP is pressed in heavyweight 180g vinyl and runs 44 minutes.
