This is in my opinion the absolute best whiskey I have had to date. I understand the price point compared to other brands doesn’t do its justice to a lot of others but to me, Macallan makes the best whiskey.
I can see why Horst didn't spill any while he was pouring, as he did with the 15 year Macallan. ^_^
You guys are the best
Tasted this yesterday for the first time, real nice and very flavour full. Would expect it more smooth, but that is maybe because of the ginger,
A lot of people are commenting on Macallan being overpriced as if this is news to anyone. Macallan is always going to be at least 50% more expensive than other comparable brands simply because it’s a Macallan.
The same principle applies to brands such as Rolex. Macallan is not trying to appeal to the mass market because they have been established for many many years already. That being said they still have a fantastic spirit and are highly collectible so the price is irrelevant in that regard.
Rolex is better then 9 of the 10 other high end brand watches, all rolex are chronomasters and almost selfmade, while the same priced other watches not. I was once looked for a rolex daytona when i see the hourwork was not from them but from zenith, since then i have an Zenith Chronomaster moon.
I agree that maccallan is overpriced, i have tried some and i like them, but there are better on the market.
So you take lotus over Ferrari, interesting
It's 50% more for similar age, but in terms of quality is not that much. A 12 yo can in fact be better than many 15 yo. I have 12 yo triple cask vs the 15 yo green label and the Macallan is better for about $20 more.
Excellent. I would love to see a review of the Estate Cask
You guys should put together a virtual tasting club. That would be a fun way to go into winter 2020 haha
I wait a review for the Macallan 18 scherry oak 2020 release.😁😁😁😁
I love Macallan 18!! keep up the amazing vids :)
We had one of these up against a Glendronach 18yo at our whisky club. The Macallan was the better dram but the Glendronach was much better value for money and a great dram too. For us the Glendronach was $200 australian and the Macallan $500 but the Macallan wasn't 2.5 times better than the Glendronach.
I'd expect the sherry cask would be the same except 3.5 times the price of the Glendronach 18.
You pay for the Macallan name.
Seiko is better than Rolex but 20x cheaper
Could you please tell me which whiskies made/released today are matured in actual sherry casks (not merely just sherry-seasoned ones)?
I'm pretty sure that the Port Charlotte OLC 01 is matured in butts that contained oloroso for some years and not merely seasoned. Actually looking forward to buy one of those
Actually whisky had never been matured in casks previously used to mature sherry. Sherry matures in virtualy inert casks which are used in bodegas for decades or even centuries. Those casks have always been extremely valluable asset for the bodega because of the followiing reasons: they are inert and don't impart any additional flavors/tanins to the wine and they have grown the particular yeast cultures (flor) that form the mold surface layer over the wine. Those casks are useless for maturing whisky in. In the past sherry bodegas use to export the matured sherry in casks made for the purpose and after those cask arrived in UK the wine got bottled or sold directly from the casks. The empty transport casks were adopted by whisky distilleries because they were cheap, available and fit for the purpose and were essentialy "seasoned" by the sherry. This practice took place until Spain decided to prohibit sherry export in cask and all the sherry gets bottled in Spain. Thus the constant supply of cheap transport sherry casks stopped. The whisky distilleries now order sherry casks made by specification which are deliberately seasoned with sherry for a period between 6 and 24 months. The great difference is not the seasoning itself but the fact that the sherry used is not a proper matured sherry but a relatively young wine which technicaly might not even allowed to be called sherry.
Nice Whisky
Very expensive in Australia too. The 15s are around $200 and the 18s are above $300 plus.
mate, if you can find an 18 for less than $500 - grab it.
@@thisarfingai Agreed, the Double Cask 18 is over $500
Thank you guys for review Macalan 18 years old. Where are you like watched you and testing with you! What kind glasses did you use.
Let me see, 2 bottles of Lagavulin 16 for 1 bottle of this. I'll take the Lagavulins.
Every time!
In Poland its 10 bottles of Lagavulin 16 (240 Polish złoty) for 1 of this.
You cn buy 5 bottles of Lagavulin for this in the UK. I'd rather have 2 bottles of Glendronach 21 than one bottle of the Macallan
It's hard to beat Lagavulin 16 because of how unique that taste is AND the price lol. It's also what I tell my wine friends who spend $750+ on red wine - I just can't justfiy $750 for ONE red wine when I can milk one bottle of Lagavulin 16 for a much, much longer period.
Where i live you can buy 4 lagavulin 16s for the price of 1 macallan 18 haha
Price bubble
Instead of a ridiculously overpriced Macallan, I would rather get a Glendronach 18 Allardice, or Old Pulteney 18 or maybe an Arran 18...
Much better bang for the buck.
You can buy all 3 of them for the same money. 🤣🤣🤣
Obligatory snob in the comments
Don't bring a fork when you eat soup.
A bottle of Bruichladdich Dark Art or Macallan 18 🤔
flipper2gv what is Dark Art?
6:07 LOL XD
do you prefer the 18 Yr Sherry or the 18 Yr Double Cask?
Macallan 18 sherry is very expensive than 18 double cák😫
Why doesn't mr. Horst get age. I've come across your videos from 7 years ago and this, he didn't get age a bit. Is he a vampire?
It’s the whisky consumption
6:07 hahaha
What dad said
Is it worth to buy as an investment if we want to sell in 10 years?
Very pleasant in your mouth Funny because that's exactly what my wife says 😂
I don’t know why everyone is complaining about the price.. just don’t buy it then. Macallan makes great whisky and they price it how they want. Make your own decisions...
I completely agree with you. They target a very specific market; the one who can afford it and is willing to pay the price. I still cant understand why people complain; just dnt buy it. It is my undertsanding that Macallan is very specific and hand pick their cask ans sent to Spain for seasoning hence the reason that adds cost to the final product.
Whidki
The Rolex of whiskies. Pretending to be the best by hiking the hype and prices up. An embarrassment of a price.
Too much
How does climate change affect Scotch?
Macallan is overpriced, not worth the money.
