"Macallan Replica 'The 1874' 45% 750ml
Bottled in 2002
Only 11.000 bottles/sets have been made worldwide!
In 1995, the directors of the distillery acquired at auction a rare bottle of The Macallan dating from 1874. The purchase was significant because even within the distillery's own archives, the 1870's were looked upon as something of a golden age for whisky-making. With some trepidation, it was therefore decided that the whisky should be sampled. By means of a hypodermic needle, a small amount of the precious liquide was extracted to which Frank Newlands, Whisky-Maker at the distillery, applied his nose.
To his delight, he found that the Macallan character as we understand it today was evident in the whisky produced by his predecessors over a hundred years ago.
In particular, he noted a characteristic which he describes as "zest of orange with a hint of lemon and an undertone of new sapwood". While not evident in every cask, it does appear from time to time, more often than not in a well-matured fino sherry cask. Why this should be so is uncertain. What is without doubt is that it is definitely The Macallan."
