1826 Cocktails

A pre-bottled cocktail range made with premium whiskies, Cognacs, and bourbons, 1826 was created to showcase how easily bar-quality cocktails can be enjoyed in the comfort of your own home. It was made from a collaboration between Macallan, Laphroaig, and Maker’s Mark owners Edrington UK and Thomas Lowndes, a Glasgow-based firm that has been part of Edrington since 2015. Named after the year Mr. Lowndes founded the business, the 1826 range comprises four bottled cocktails: an Old Fashioned and a Mint Julep made with Maker’s Mark bourbon, a Cognac Espresso Martini that features Courvoisier, and a Smoky French Martini made using Laphroaig whisky instead of vodka or gin.
