Thank you for the event preview. I liked the JW events in LA; nice settings, great apps and an educational tasting. Sounds like the same but w/Macallan scotch....

I saw that Kirkland (costco) had independently bottled Macallan scotch, aged 15 years in Bourbon and spanish sherry casks, and is offering it in Costco stores for 49.99. Has anyone tried it?

A report from Tales of the tail.

A solid choice would be an 18 year old Macallan, which will run you around $140. It’s a smooth, buttery rich scotch. Pound for pound the best single malt scotch produced in Scotland. If you’re looking for something...

feeling like it had heavy additions of vanilla and a touch of oak. It’s not like drinking macallan, though, so as long as you don’t expect it to be like a scotch, you’ll be fine.

stung me. At first I thought maybe I’d lost my Scotch whiskey “chops”. But Macallan 12yr is aged in Sherry casks which imparts (among other things) a bouncy, rubbery mouthfeel which was virtually absent from...

A 30 year old bottle of The Macallan is one of the finest Scotches available on the market, and it is much cheaper and much better than ANY blended whisky, be it Johnny Walker or whoever. The Macallan is a Speyside scotch and is...

My favorite Scotches include: Auchantoshan (lowland) ($17 for cheapest, $30 for 12 yr) Oban ($45) Laphroaig ($40 ish) Macallan (often cited as ‘the’ best scotch but lacks the smokiness that I like so much in the...

My father is an inveterate single malt scotch drinker (his whisky of choice is Macallan, 12 year), and he usually drinks Dewar’s in situations like this. I’ve been drinking it a lot lately, having gone to a lot of...

I’m moving from Philadelphia (where liquor stores are state operated) to Boston. Does anybody have any recs for liquor stores with (a) the best selection of scotch, and (b) the best prices on scotch? Interested in anywhere...

reading through the Scotch posts on the general board makes me salivate... i hear Edinburgh Castle has the best selection — is this true? Where else has a good selection of Scotch? and what do you eat with scotch sipping?...

Hello- A friend of mine recently started drinking scotch and I’d like to get her a good bottle for Christmas. She’s been having Johnny Walker Black, but I want to expend her horizons a bit. Can anyone suggest a good...

Has anyone tried the Trader Joe’s branded scotch? I noticed the Macallan 10yr for $20 which doesn’t sound all that cheap for just a 10yr single malt. How does this stack up to it’s older brothers? What other...

as though you are. HIGHLY recommended, but not for everybody. So, to recap, I recommend: — Johnnie Walker Black (the safe, boring, nice choice.) — The Macallan (or Glenfiddich) (More snob appeal, but still safe.) —...
