The Macallan 10 year-old
Note to all Bourbon fanboys: it’s okay to indulge in other spirits from time to time. Especially when there are so many options to explore. I thought I would take a minute to introduce our first review of single malt Scotch. Same rules apply: have fun while dressing up your ice and let us know what you think. The Macallan Fine Oak 10 year-old was a great contrast to my regular Buffalo Trace. At only $30 you’ll probably find it at the lower end of your local supplier’s scotch price options. It loses little in taste, however, for being a bargain. With a nose any scotch lover could get excited about and a subtly sweet aftertaste, this is one to remember to keep on hand…just in case that bourbon needs to age a bit more. Being Macallan’s youngest, this is a good sign Macallan’s older generations are worth a future review. Check out Macallan’s own tasting notes on their website here.
