The Macallan Replica 1876 is a meticulously recreated whisky that pays homage to the original spirit distilled almost 130 years ago. With only 19,800 bottles produced, this rare whisky is a replica of an antique bottle from the Victorian era. The bottle contains 700ml of 40.6% ABV whisky and comes in a presentation box with a spare stopper and a stunning red velvety lining, weighing approximately 1.4 kg.
The Macallan distillery, founded in 1824 and located in the Speyside region, built its reputation for luxury single malt whisky in the 1980s with a string of sherry-matured vintage single malts, including the 18-year-old and 25-year-old, which were distilled in the 1960s and 1970s. The Macallan Replica 1876 is inspired by the discovery of two pre-20th century casks of Macallan and is rich in summer fruits, both fresh and citric, and dried, with traces of spice, light vanilla fudge, sweet oak, and wood spice.
The whisky's glass bottle, label set, and whisky are recreated as close to the original as possible, reflecting The Macallan's preoccupation with using only the finest ingredients, which was akin to an obsession. The Macallan Whisky Maker, Bob Dalgarno, applied his skill and expertise in marrying casks from the maturing stocks to recreate the style, complexity, and character of the original. The Macallan Replica 1876 is a true testament to the distillery's commitment to excellence and its rich history.
