Macallan


The Try What You Can't Afford To Buy
Single Malt Tasting

Our traditional November whisky tasting featured a whole bunch of old and pricey single malts. The assembled whisky affianados backed up the $80 to $110 that you'd spend on one of the older single malts with stellar scores. The Macallan finished first, although the Glenmorangie and Glenlivet probably represent a better value for an eighteen year old scotch.
