Macallan 1876 Replica Bottling Note~ In 1998 The Macallan acquired some very rare bottles from John McWilliam’s private collection and presented Bob Dalgarno, Whisky Maker, with the formidable challenge of replicating it. He describes the process in the following:"I drew a tiny sample from the bottle with a hypodermic syringe inserted through the long driven cork. It was surprisingly fresh and vibrant, clearly The Macallan, but full of youthful vitality. Of course, we do not know the age at which it had been bottled, but judging from its golden colour and relative robustness in character, we suspect the whisky was matured in oak sherry casks from Spain. Together with my team of expert nosers, I began to comb through our warehouses of maturing casks searching for whisky which matched the profile." After successful trialling, another addition to the Macallan 'replica' series was born. The 1876 Replica is contained in a bespoke presentation outer box, created to reflect the values of the Victorian era and, of course, to protect the bottle and its contents. Limited production. Two casks of pre 20th century Macallan were found. The master blender set about recreating them, this is the recreation of the 1876. Tasting Note~ Color: Deep amber. Nose: Smokier than I remember. Quick, soft, with a hit of smoke - then juicy wood. Palate: Citrus. Toffee. Nutty. Toasty. Smooky. Finish: Mesquite. Amazing whisky, complexity is pretty intense. |
