A lovely scotch. Fruity, yet bovine.

February of 2017, I bought my first bottle of scotch, and I admit, I meant it for a finish to a headache of a day after work. Macallan was my second taste of scotch, and it far succeeded my first; I was not expecting to get hit with the plethora of flavor that hit me that night. Smooth, rich flowery taste, quite a heavenly far cry from the $15 bottles of cheap American whiskey I was used to downing in my 20's. Before that night, I don't remember a time when I appreciated a drink for the palate rather than for the fringe benefits. They say you get what you pay for, and Macallan doesn't disappoint.

I’ve seen some harsh reviews for this scotch but I really like it. While Macallan is a top quality mainstream scotch this offering fits into a more underground feel. The smooth balance of the Mac 18 and 25 give way to in your face, bold barrel flavor from the fine oak. The opening is standard Macallan but the mid range mouth feel is best paired with free form jazz, death metal or hardcore trance music. This scotch is spicy and raw while maintaining complete control. The finish starts to pull you in then fades quickly leading to another taste of what has become one of my favorites. Not recommended for beginners but I have a large collection of scotch and still throw down a sip of this one regularly and think it is good for collections. If you are new to scotch and looking for your first good bottle I recommend Glenmorangie’s Nectar D or. similar price and it will addict you to the world of good scotch.

Best malt I've tasted. Log fire and a few glasses of 15 year old Mac, almost Heaven:-)
