Macallan 12 is a very good and well-marketed brand of Scotch whisky. They say, “some things are worth waiting for”, personally, I had a bigger glass at my desk. Taste: Medium bodied, sherry, orange citrus, sweet oak finishĪs you can see from the picture, my former coworker is a very patient man. Let’s see how long it lasts on the store shelves. Priced around $100 it is good, but I am not a huge fan for the flavor or the price. Sherry influenced whisky from Spain….no shit? 2 is sherry styled and created with some famous Spanish Chefs. No.1 is made from eight casks and not partnered with anyone cool. It should be noted that Macallan has two other “Editions”. Now, in 2018 distilleries need to create new products that do not have a historical romantic story so a partnership with someone cool helps them sell. It has been 10 years since Mad Men aired and whisky became cool again. I get distinct feeling that some whisky producers, even the big ones, are getting a bit desperate with the potential, and eventual slowdown in whisky interest. It is like the distillery ran out of ideas and someone said, “Ummm why don’t we bring in to help us? Then we can market the shit out of this whisky!” I want to believe it is a good thing but sometimes I feel it is marketing bullshit. Distilleries are partnering with chefs, musicians, movies, actors, artists, etc. Over the last few years there have been various partnerships between distilleries and other people. Vanilla is a big thing with perfumers so I am not surprised by this but there was not much else in the flavor profile. As you may already know, that comes from the bourbon barrels. I will spare you the details but the vanilla taste is clearly nose forward on this whisky. 2 nd Fill American/European Oak Refill ButtsĮach cask has a different flavor profile.3 is a blend of 6 casks which are the following The nose being a significant part of the creative process is no surprise with a perfumer consulting on its creation. 3 is wood focused with the nose being a big part of the profile.
