The Macallan 10 Year Old Sherry Oak - Late 2000s Whisky

Nice dram but too pricey for me. For £75 plus I at least expect 46% Non chill filtered.

Back in 1989, as a Student in St Andrews the then 10 year old Macallan was the first single malt that I was introduced to... at the time, whisky was in a slump, all Macallan was matured in old first fill sherry casks (one likes to believe), and even the 10 was made with older casks.... roll on 30 years and the industry has changed... old sherry casks for first fill? £1000+ for the empty cask, popularity has driven prices.... a 10 year old Macallan bottled in 1990 which would have cost me £18.99, can be found for around.... £400 rare, but also high quality... This 10 year old is not the same. But its is still a decent and refined dram. £75? well you are adding a £25 premium for the brand, but its the same with anything you buy. I bought it for the nostalgia of a youth... a reminder of those days drinking Malt with friends all night before responsibilities - and it does that just fine and therefore its worth the extra. You will enjoy.

Това при мен е на цената на 21yo Ballantine's. Какво купих ли?
Купих ги и двете ,
по три бутилки!
Ех, не завиждайте на стария човек...
Не се пускайте от завист!
Просто се пръснете...завинаги!?

I like the 12 years a lot. Tried the 10 and it was equally good but the price isn't justified. Why so? is it limited in stock?

...overpriced. Enuff said.

Awesome!

Both were good but I gotta say this one is more smoth.

Sublime whisky that always makes me feel warm inside. The description given here is a little OTT, but not far off . It does have a wonderful creamy thickness that glides down the throat. The 10yr old Sherry Oak is more sophisticated than the 10yr Fine Oak and it's always been more expensive. The depth of the whisky varies according to my mood.

You can't justify the price for this 10 year old no way

Such a lovely whisky(as described below/previously)just like liquid fruit cake, mellow smooth not fiery. I have tried it against the 12 year old and it is much better more complex, I just wish the distillery would start making it again the price has shot up since production stopped. Please Please Macallan distillery (if you are listening)just start making it again, none of your new whisky's comes near it. Mr Macpherson Huntly Aberdeenshire
