This is a replica both in appearance and taste of the 1874 Macallan. The 1870's was considered the golden age of whisky-making. There is a "zest of orange with a hint of lemon and an undertone of new sapwood". Something which comes from ageing in fino sherry casks - a necessary but however insufficient condition for this quality to manifest.
