Ginger Baker!Spot-on. Macallan 12 is def the better buy.
I still prefer a nice drab of Laphroig or Ardbeg, but Macallan is damn good!
Not to mention, Neil Peart (the GOAT of all drummers) swore by Macallan.

For a Bottle of The Macallan 18, I'll tolerate a mild sexual assault. I've been holding on to a bottle for 9 years now when it was purchased for just $160, now it is indeed $400. Yes it is open and I sip now and again, but know I'll never buy a bottle of scotch at such a high price.It was pretty darn good! Was the 18 year worth 400% the cost of entry compared to the 12 year? Absolutely not.
Obviously nothing is apples to apples here as they don't ever taste the same, but if it was my money on the line, I would pick up a bottle of Yellow Spot or Yamazaki 12-year by Suntory instead of replacing the Macallan 18 with another bottle of it. That being said, I already picked up those two bottles and have no desire to get another Macallan 18 due to it's cost not really bringing 400% more "value" to my pallet.
Anyway, back to stalking. Who's going to send me some whisky? Prefer no spit in it, i'm not a cop.
@HotdogThud, I'm a Bourbon guy myself, but I'm beginning to branch into Scotch.I hear that's some damn good scotch, makes me wish I liked the stuff :-\
That's a valid patch and sage advice.
Just for those wondering, the Macallan 18 was replaced with a bottle of Macallan 12 double-wood. Wow, it's a very interesting offering from Macallan. Easily their most unusual offering. Typical double-woods tend to be sweeter and less peaty such as the Balvenie doublewood 12 (a staple offering in the double-wood family).Spot-on. Macallan 12 is def the better buy.

Doublewoods are generally not very smoky with the sherry casking and all.Nice @Rick Astley , appreciate the recommendation. The Balvenie DoubleWood was just ok imo.....I def expected more smoke/peat.
I have yet to try the Macallan double cask, but now it's on my list to pick up a bottle.
What in the wide, wide world of alcohol olympics have I stumbled into while looking for a place to whine about Broncos? F*#k it, give me a minute to open up Wikipedia, Google, Bing and a nice peaty bottle of PBR and I’ll be right back.Doublewoods are generally not very smoky with the sherry casking and all.
I have fond memories of the Balvenie doublewood, but this last bottle seemed entirely flat and without much character. I dunno..... It didn't taste like all the other bottles! And that was the evening before opening the Macallan, so it wasn't just a head-to-head comparison thing. I was not impressed with the Balvenie on it's own merits at the time of sipping.
While staying in Cody for a week I did notice that PBR was on the "fancy" end of the Wyoming beer spectrum. Makes sense that it counts as "nice" and "peaty" for you. (full disclosure: I have a briefcase of PBR in the garage fridge, not hating on it's quality!)What in the wide, wide world of alcohol olympics have I stumbled into while looking for a place to whine about Broncos?

Amateur......no one cold brews horse piss anymore you Neanderthal (unless you live in Nebraska). Us people in the cowboy state know that horse piss is beach wood aged for 6 hours while plinking on a cowbell listening to Chris Ledoux records.....but by all means, if you prefer the “Nebraska” method knock yourself out.While staying in Cody for a week I did notice that PBR was on the "fancy" end of the Wyoming beer spectrum.

Cold-brewed horse piss was readily available as the mid-quality beer at whatever passed for a sundry to you people.
Too much moonshine in the Nebraska method, hence being knocked out!Amateur......no one cold brews horse piss anymore you Neanderthal (unless you live in Nebraska).

No... Now turn and face the wall please.Can we choose how we provide our sample?

I did pay for it all with the Oklahoma credit card, so there's a strong American flavor to all the beers purchased!
The MaCallan 18 is down to $330 locally now (not including the additional $40 in tax due to the tariff on non-American whisky that's in effect).For a Bottle of The Macallan 18, I'll tolerate a mild sexual assault.

Yes indeed! Not too many people get the reference anymore. From the bygone days of fuel shortages. Now we have electricity shortages and people run out to buy electric vehicles. This is progress.Oklahoma Credit Card?
