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? (4 replies, last updated by cannedmilkandfruitypebbles October 13, 2009)

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... (16 replies, last updated by eatinman March 24, 2009)

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. (7 replies, last updated by warrenr November 27, 2007)

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... (132 replies, last updated by Eugene Park October 26, 2009)

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... (10 replies, last updated by Deven Black March 25, 2003)

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... (18 replies, last updated by mr_fro2000 June 18, 2004)

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... (4 replies, last updated by Caitlin Wheeler November 11, 2001)

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... (8 replies, last updated by theredmenace August 20, 2008)

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?... (11 replies, last updated by DavidT July 23, 2003)

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... (10 replies, last updated by Mr. Souffle December 24, 2004)

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... (3 replies, last updated by Mr. Souffle December 28, 2004)

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.) —... (29 replies, last updated by woo! December 24, 2002)

What is the deal with the Scotch at Trader Joe’s and why is it so inexpensive? Is it inferior stuff, or is it just an amazingly good deal? Specifically, I’d like to know about the Macallan 10 that I’ve been... (31 replies, last updated by baldrick December 7, 2007)
