Just TASTED it...

Again, I do not drink alcohol as am not much of a fan of puking and table spins, yet do take small tastes of things. The Macallans Edition 6 has a really nice FLAVOR that makes it more desirable to my absolutely uneducated palette. Have had the 18 and 15 versions and those are smoother, yet not 'more likable' to my totally amateur flavor buds. 


Some alcohol just gets yuk and stays that way. Edition 6 builds in flavor and just before the 'yuk' it subsides as another flavor of yum ??chocolate or ___ ?? builds. Frankly, it's the first alcoholic drink I find surprisingly attractive in flavor, without the yuk 'taking over'.

STRONG finish and nice lingering, reeeeally nice lingering. My Muse insists I smoke a cigar and try more. 

Wow, minutes with a nice cigar (2014 Siglo 1), yeah, color me happy. Again, I'm not a seasoned drinker, or 'taster'.

A sweet noted scotch whiskey with intense butterscotch, toffee, chocolate, and coffee notes. Very nutty. Alcohol is not well integrated as it's a tad high, but the candied notes are so intensely enjoyable that the alcohol is forgiven. Lots of character. A...

Not sure if those whiskeys taste like that ... but some do!

i'll stick with Welch's Concord Grape juice ThankYouVeryMuch. i find the February 2022 bottling to be the best so far this year.

My uncle grows grapes and sells them to Welch’s to make grape jelly….

Ever had Michigan wine? Then you’d know why the grapes are best used to make jelly 😅

Forgot to mention that it's fairly full bodied.

Just TASTED it...

I've had it with the Montecristo #2. I'm not a cigar smoker per se. I probably have 2 cigars a year. But The No.6 is very special. The alcohol is much too high. 48% is fairly high, I like them in the 40-42% range. The Macallan 18 is definitely much smooth... 

I'm almost always Neat. But I can see the benefits of having some ice here.

Maybe one day I'll try it with some ice. A friend poured me a little glass of 17 yesterday. While not as good as 18, it was still very good!

Oddly, I always found Glenmorangie undercomplex...

To me, Macallan is often the better of all of them. The recent "Harmony" collection was quite bad. But I find that Macallan does make a very interesting whiskey often. The last time I had Glenmorangie was a small sip of an 18 year and it was just incredib... 

I’m ALL for that…

In the mean time…try the signet.

Agreed. I think edition no.5 was the best tasting!

Managed to get two bottles of all 6, enjoyed 1 bottle of each with some friends, and held 1 bottle of each for the future! ...  

Wow! That's quite a set! Lucky you!

 
 By: patrick_y : April 16th, 2022-15:44
I've never had Bottle #1, but I'm told that's the best. I've had #5, and I actually like #6 more. Very very nice! I hope you're enjoying them in fine Lalique!

Superior I think

Yes it is :-)
