The Macallan 18 Year Old 1994 Sherry Oak

This one is fantastic. 18-year old and sherry cask matured makes it just about perfect. The best affordable whisky I have tasted.

... to mar what would otherwise be a wonderfully balanced, sherried dram.

This is a present that myexpressfreight.com gives out to their customers every year- i was lucky enough to receive a case. Very Very Good!

The nose is pretty peaty, but the taste is oh so sweet. So good it gave me the hiccups. I love this stuff.

very very very great single malt whiskey, macallan like a rolls Royce very very smooth and long taste...

Like it very much

Silky, smooth, dark, rich, velvety. Deep sherry (of course) but with a nose of vanilla and orange, a palate that moves from sweet through spice and nearly to butterscotch. The finish is incredibly slow-to-fade with the spice returning amidst cream. For me, the perfect Macallan.

Lots of hype surrounding this one but after a purchase and cracking one open, dammit if the the thing doesn't live up it! Great single malt, an absolute must try for the sherried whisky fans. I've been spending hundreds of dollars on Glenmorangie, Aberlour and Balvenie - all awesome - and finally had to try this one and it is excellent. Superb nose, spent way longer than usual nosing it, big sherry influence as expected but with some pleasing toffee and vanilla and nutta notes on top, rich, full and nearly perfect, makes me wonder what it'd be like at cask strength! Taste is everything the nose promises and a little more. Wow, great stuff that needs no water (tried it some a half teaspoon and not much difference). Seems to be sold out at a lot of bay area Bevmo stores and other retailers so will be buying at least 2 backup bottles in the next couple weeks. 4 and a half stars easily. Superb dram if you can swing the 150 or so bucks for a bottle.

Very smooth for sure. Finish is my favourite part.

I've had the pleasure of experiencing many a dram of scotch whisky, and this one has thus far taken the cake. It drinks like a fine wine; complex, flavorful, and smooth. I cannot compare it to my other regional favorites, because they each offer a different enjoyment. However, this is my top of the top shelf bottle. I'm not NOT in the mood to have a drink of it.
