It’s my first time tasting whiskey and I am trying the macallan 12 yr old 43% and I did everything you’ve done but I get a very strong alcohol tart I almost cannot stand. Am I trying something too strong for my first time ? Help.
Ich vermisse die zeit als ich die Falsche für 35€ kaufen konnte. Ich glaube sogar, das Penny die als John Malcom für ~17€ hatte. Die Zeiten sind wohl auch vorbei.
adına konumun ihtiyarı içkiyi ne tanıtıyor piç
i let it be known i wouldnt mind a bottle of black grouse for the holidays, and was lucky enough to recieve a bottle of this. great review if you were wondering.
If Christopher walken and Arnold shwarznegar had a kid, this is him!
Hey Horst, so your favorite Macallan (that isn’t too crazy expensive) is the 21 year old Macallan? Thanks so much for the reviews! A+++
This guy is the Eckhart Tolle of whisky.
OMG. Those hefty mouth sounds…
Hi Horst, you can still buy the Macallan 12 years Sherry Cask 70cl in Sweden for 54 Euro
The bottle says that this whisky has “wood smoke” in the taste. What does that mean? Is it different from peat smoke?
This is the first Scotch I have bought, just a wonderful drink.
I just bought Macallan 12 at my local bevmo for 35.00 USD here in California. They had plenty of them there.
The days of the good “oldschool” Macallan are over I am afraid. Enjoy the 12 or 18 while you can still get the last of it IMO.
Nice review. But really, if you are in a shop and the 40 and 43 are the same price, do you buy the 40? I doubt it.
Only 40$ here in connecticut…..maybe the only financial bonus in Connecticut lol
I love the glasses that you use. Will they ever be put on the market?
As you have recommended, I was tasting with you, while watching you, and you’re % 100 correct….
YOU ARE TRUE MASTER TASTER!!!!
I feel that the flavor has diminished in the latest bottlings. Maybe rushing production or not getting the same quality casks?
This was one of the worst whiskey I have ever tasted. The smell was dreadful and the taste was like gas and sulfur. I would’ve poured it down the drain but I didn’t want to waste money. Maybe it was a bad bottle. I don’t know. I enjoy the Mac 18 very much.
Macallan 12 year old mouthwash that you can rinse and swallow 🙂 Good stuff.
The recent bottles taste like an amber colored vodka.
Uhm here in sweden the 40% is only 50 euros. How can they be 100 euros in Germany?
Why does it smell like talcum powder? I’ve got two bottles for a gift – a 10 y.o. and 12 y.o. The former tastes and smells better to me than the latter. Go figure. I definitely don’t find it “wonderful”, and I won’t be buying any Macallan anytime soon, as there are much better options to me for the hard earned $$$.
Haha. I did not know the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principal applied to whisky!
$53 in the United States.
Luening… Horst Luening.
Your the man you make stuff like this taste good ..how do you do it.
I want to know how they got the remote mic attached to his larynx.
They are so plentiful in the USA at 43% ABV for about 50 USD. But we don’t get to enjoy many wonderful whiskies that are widely available in Europe.
