The definition of a sherried, balanced, elegant and delicious scotch.  If you don't think this is good, see your doctor.  (Bottled circa 2007)

 

[Note to Andy: You are now Dingus #2.]

 

[Note to the Duke: $28/pour is great, but has to be a mistake. They're losing money, unless they bought the bottle years ago.]

Nuts and fresh firewood.  The sherry is light with the overall flavors barely edging over the alcohol.  Highly. quaffable, but a monstrous disappointment for the financial setback that our good friends at Macallan require.

 

Note to Mr. Herz.  Tests by Dr.  Preedar Oreggio on 5/11/10  resulted in perfect score on bloodwork.  There is a little blood pressure prehypertension, but that should not affect my ability to taste a bland, uninspired Mac 25.

Well, what can you say bad about this.   It's a slightly fuller version of Macallan 18.   I get some deeper notes of chocolate and red cherry.  But otherwise the flavor profile matches the 18 year.   I was actually drinking Mac 18 right before this, so I was able to do a good comparison.

[I like to give props to bars that price their whisky reasonably, so a shout out to the Rowes Wharf Bar in Boston, charging $28 a pour.]
