To re-create the style of The Macallan in the 1940s, their Master Distiller has sampled bottles of The Macallan from that decade and matched their aroma and flavour with more recent distillations taken from the casks maturing in the warehouses.During the 1940s, with oak sherry casks in short supply as a result of the second world war, The Macallan would refill their casks more often than is the current practice.This, combined with the use of peat to dry the barley, resulted in a whisky that was less spicy and peatier than modern day Macallan.
