Macallan Fine Oak 10 Year

[buffdaddy]

Read a blurb about this Scotch on Valetmag and it sounds interesting. Has anybody tried this and share their opinion? This price isn't too bad either, between $30.00-$40.00 depending on where you look, which is cheap for Macallan!





"Matured in both European oak sherry casks and American oak barrels, this is a good Highland whiskey to try. It's dry, but delicious with touches of soft caramel that are balanced by some natural oak and malt."

You'd better hurry, they're not making it any more.....

I had a bottle and was seriously underwhelmed. It had a bitter flavor going on in it and I couldn't get past it.

Indeed underwhelming. It just hasn't been in a sheery cask long enough to really get to be Macallan-like. Find a bottle of Balvenie Double Wood or Single Barrel.

+1. Balvenie Double Wood in sherry cask beats it hands down. If I'm gonna get Macallan, I'll stick to the 18. Everything else they do seems to fall a bit short.

I had a bottle a while ago. All I really remember is being underwhelmed and it didn't seem to have too much flavour ... kind of a "lady's scotch" if that makes sense.

The 18 and those of a more advanced age are sublime.
