Macallan 1861 Replica Rare Reserve Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky 42.7% Vol. - Old and rare bottling from limited Macallan Replica Series of a special Highland Single Malt!
The Macallan Replica 1861 Rare Reserve Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky is the result of an attempt to reproduce the taste of an original Macallan from the year 1861 from 28 different casks - the result is a remarkable and unique multi-vintage Macallan Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky in a historic design as a reminiscence of the long history of the Macallan distillery.
The Macallan Distillers LTD acquired a very rare bottle of The Macallan 1861 from a private collection in 1998, and presented Bob Dalgarno, Whisky Maker, with the formidable challenge of replicating it. In the end, Macallan vatted twenty-eight casks, at different ages, to achieve a balanced profile which, in the view from Macallan, reflects the true character, aroma and flavour of this historich whisky. Released in 2002, this was the second release of The Macallan, in the limited Replica series of the special Macallan Single Malt Scotch whiskies. The Macallan 1861 Replica Rare Reserve Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky has been created by John McWilliam, wine merchant of Craigellachie as a replica of the style, nose and flavour of an original bottle of The Macallan, distilled in 1861.
This now very rare Macallan Replica 1861 Rare Reserve Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky is presented in an elaborate antique bottle and gift box with a separate wooden cork stopper and booklet on the making of the Macallan Replica 1861 and is a fine old expression from the Macallan distillery for connoisseurs, the discerning whisky collector and lovers of fine old Scotch whiskies.
