MacAllen Cask Strength
Got a bottle of this for my birthday. Havn't tried it yet, but, given the label, I don't doubt that it's good.
Anyone have any opinions about it? |

My opinion is to open the bottle and find out as quickly as possible. [img]/forums/images/icons/grin.gif[/img]
I have not had that particular Macallan but have liked all the other Macallans I have had. |

Just tried it
opened the bottle to celebrate, uh, I don't know. Trista's choice? Tom Watson's win on the Golf Channel classic show? my win this afternoon in the fifteen game?
any or all of the above will suffice. Anyway, first I tried it neat. very nice, tight aroma and taste. warmed me up down to my toes. Nice caramelly (is that a word?) start with that warm whiskey glow finishing it. I then (in the interest of science, of course) poured a couple more fingers and tried it, this time, with a splash of water. Wow. same range of flavors, but completely opened up. where it once was a tight, nice whiskey, it now became a very full, taste with the different flavor elements extended out from start to finish. final analysis 1) for the price ($44), I'd highly recommend it. Final analysis 2) given the above review I just wrote, I really need to get away from the city. BTW, just got a black perch (salt water) on a freshwater scud in the SF bay. I noticed that the FFers tend to also read the scotch threads (hmmm), so I thought I'd add this in here. |

Re: Just tried it
Fly? I know as little about scotch as I do fishing salt. I'm a cheap beer guy.

Re: Just tried it
black perch-- thats one of those things that looks like a goldfish that swallowed a cd. they used to catch alot of them things around moss bay or is it moss landing --around south of pacifica and north of half moon bay. i never ate one of them but i understand they are good. never caught one either. how big was it.
