Macallan 1841 Replica Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky 3rd Edition 41,7% Vol. - rare bottling from the limited replica series of Macallan
The Macallan 1841 singla malt scotch whisky has been created as a replica of an original Macallan, distilled in 1841 during the tenure of Alexander Reid, founder of the distillery, and bottled for James Priest and James Davidson, joint proprietors of the Macallan from 1847 to 1851. The bottle, complete with the flaws common glassware of its time, the labels, and the nose and flavour of the whisky (especially citrus and summer fruits and peat smoke), mirror the original as closely as possible.
The original 1841 is the earliest known bottle of The Macallan in existence and one of the oldest surviving of any whisky bottle. It was probably originally a wine bottle, dating from the late eighteenth / early nineteenth century, and procured locally for Priest and Davidsons own requirements. Although filling whisky into glass bottles began after the abolition of the glass tax in 1845, it was still relatively uncommon in the 1850s, whisky usually being sold in glass flagons or jars, holding between two and eight gallons.
The Macallan 1841 Replica has been sealed by hand and finished with a faithfully re-created label, using the hand-lettered style of the original. Whatever the provenance of the bottles that were replicated, the whisky is meant to be tremendous (the late great Michael Jackson gave this a 95 point score), ensuring that this is one of the most popular of these famous (notorious?) bottlings.
