I was afraid a bottle of the stuff might be too expensive for my budget, but as it turns out, they're only going to charge $65,000.00 for a 750 ml bottle of it.



I found what you said riveting.

Might as well grab a case, then.

I find Macallan to be too sweet, in general.

72 years? Like thats a good thing? OF COURSE it has a strong oak flavor. Probably has a strong moldy flavor, with a hint of mouse droppings too. Yuk. An over looked barrel, long forgotten about.

Well that's just crazy!

When I want Scotch I just get the cheap stuff at Costco, and no waiting on a list.


...and like the Beatles I take mine with regular CocaCola - NOT DIET Coke!

I will have to swing by the distillery in August and ask for a dram.

So by extrapolation this would mean holding on to a really good bottle of Scotch for 72 years (or a barrel of it as it were) is a good investment. But can anyone really resist the temptation of having it around for that long?

I bet whoever gets one of those bottles could probably drink the scotch and recoup a large portion of their buy in by auctioning off just the empty decanter. Big Grin

Agreed, but then I tend towards the peat. Lagavulin, Laphroig, and such.

Well.... it does come in a nice bottle....




“The Macallan 72 Years Old in Lalique is a celebration of the collaboration of masters from across the fields of whisky, crystal, architecture, construction and craftsmanship and marks a new beginning in The Macallan story,” the brand explains of the product which was inspired by the aforementioned new distillery. “This exceptionally rare whisky is presented in a unique and bespoke crystal decanter and presentation case that are defined by the outstanding architectural complexity of our new brand home.”



"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."
-- Justice Janice Rogers Brown

I like Macallan's 18 yo, really good scotch. Lagavulin and the rest of the peat stuff I could never really enjoy. And I've tried.
