Macallan 1874 Replica

In every respect the 1874 reflects both the character and appearance of the original. Today, the 'zest of orange' note in particular is only evident in a small percentage of casks, which means that availability of The 1874 was strictly limited. Selected on the basis of flavour rather than age the whisky is also allowed to marry for a considerable time so as to develop its full potential. While age is not a deciding factor it is likely that a typical bottling will contain some casks in excess of 20 years old. Uncertain of the strength at which the original was bottled, The 1874 is bottled at 45% - equivalent to 80 proof on the old British Sykes scale of measurement, the strength generally used for distillery bottlings in the early 1900s. The bottle iself has been faithfully reproduced using a part-mechanical process to replicate as closely as possible the quality and individuality of century-old glass. The label reflects the stylish simplicity of Roderick Kemp's original which has so well stood the test of time.
