What's better than MacCallan 12?

My favorite "special occasion " scotch is Glenlivet 21 year. Amazingly smooth.

Holy shit. After the Dalwhinnie has been opened for a day, it smoothed out incredibly. Some niblets of 2 year Gouda and aged goat cheese and that's nirvana. I wish I'd have started an hour earlier.

I received a couple of bottles of Mac15 for my 65th. Tried some neat and wasn't impressed, but when I added ice and a wee bit of water, the stuff went down quite nicely.

This is sometimes the case for me as well. Every once in a while I encoumter a bottle that needs to sit for a while after opening. I will have a dram, put it on the shelf and let it sit a week or two. Balvenie Double Cask was that way for me. Mellowed out, and the chemical taste dissipated. Turned out to be a great bottle.

That's funny. I just popped back in here to recommend this. I'm sipping on it right now in fact. It's excellent. It reminds me of my Dalwhinnie.

I'm surprised it took a page and a half to come up. It's also not too pricy at around $55 a bottle.
