It's simply last years bottling. The 1997 was the last year that Macallan put the Year the whisky is barrelled and decided to switch to the date bottled.
Great review man, where do you get the drams in the small bottles? I'm buying single malts for my old man although he's a blended fan so I've collected all the JW and CR for him...so far got him the Mac 12 and the Mac 18 will be next (he won't open any bottle I bought him)
Nice bottle to have. Which one do you like the best of Macallan 18 or Glendronach 15? I know the Mac is 3 years older, but I've heard great stuff about the Glendronach 15.
Because my bottle of Glendronach is a 2013 it's closer to 18 years old as Glendronach used older whisky for this expression. I'd have to say the Glendronach 15 is better.
I have a 2015 bottling of Glendronach 15 Revival which is essentially 21 years old. However, the complex mouth feel of Macallan 18 is unique. There's nothing else like it. There's something to be said about those extremely small stills.
Rob I have three bottles of Macallan 18 one bottle is a 1994 & two are 1995. I know these Macallan 18 are no longer being sold You have commented that you flip bottles, if I decided to flip how much would it go for ? And where do you go to flip ?
Hey I'm located in Southern California, can you tell me which bottles is worth collecting now? Also Which bottles to collect from Germany Market? Thank you
Hey Rob, I bought a bottle of Grangestone Highland Single Malt 18 year old as a gift. Never had it before...have you heard of it or better yet ever tasted it? If so, thoughts? Paid $62 USD...for that price point anything better you recommend? Thanks!
Really good price for an 18 year old scotch. Not much is known about it but it's low risk with a potential high reward. It won a silver metal in the San Francisco spirit competition. Must be worth the price.
Thanks Rob for responding asap!, great advice...if for a girf for a novice scotch friend so should be great for him. I'm going to pick up a couple other bottles tomorrow to hold on to unopened for a couple years...Macallan Fine Oak 17 Yr for $219 USD and can still get Macallan 18 yr for $199. And a couple Glengoyne 15 yr which are $80 here in FL which is what I will open up and drink till then! lol,
Great review Rob. Thanks for taking the time to do these. Being in the GTA as well, it near impossible for us to trade Whisky. There is just no secondary market available for us. I have an unopened bottle of the Mac 18 it's the 1994. I've been having trouble opening it, as I know it's value. I think I may just save it until Christmas and enjoy it. Again , thanks for the great reviews !!
The 1994 is touted as one of the best. It's always difficult deciding when to open a high end bottle. Watch my video of CC 30 year old. I go into detail about opening sentimental bottles.
Just watched. Sorry about your Grandfather. I don't enjoy rye Whisky, so I normally skip those reviews. So true about when to open a special bottle. Thanks
Saw this in my local whisky shop today however it was priced at £225 here in the uk. Way out of my price range. Can you recommend one that is reasonably priced?
Nice review and also good to note the older vintage was imported to the USA by Remy Cointreau and now it's by Edrington Americas.I have a 1993 Macallan 18 and a 12 from Remy, the newer ones are lighter in color.
Hey I'm located in Toronto too. I was wondering where you ordered the Drinks by the Dram. I'm looking to try a few Scotches before shelling out for an entire bottle.
My brother in law had to bring them back from the UK. Unfortunately we can't get them here. You can try some scotch by the dram at Young and Summerhill lcbo.
Have macallan stopped the age statement releases now, moving to the colour palette rubbish (ruby, gold, Amber etc)? I've not seen an age statement release here in BC. When the LCBO or BC Liquor discontinue something, grab the last bottle. I got one of the last 4 bottles of Arran 10 in BC.
Thanks gentlemen. I thought those were just stocks they were running through. My next purchase I think will be a Springbank or Hazelburn. I'll review it too.
I'm a huge Mac fan, especially of the 18. I've been collecting and drinking it for a number of years so I have bottles going back when they were just over $100 starting with a 1978. All Scotch and Bourbon has dramatically gone up and I too am from the California Bay Area. You can get the Mac 18 here for $220 if you know where to go though stores now have it up to $275+. Mac is it's own profile and if you love the 18 no other Sherry profile is the Mac 18. Not Aberlour, Glendronach, Glenfarclas or any other. Though those I've mentioned are great too. Like I said I have many bottles of 18's and just because some internet source says the value is hundreds of dollars doesn't mean you can get that. A bottle is worth what someone is willing to pay. Selling overseas from the US is not a piece of cake and keep in mind it's illegal to privately sell and ship whisky/bourbon and it can be confiscated if discovered that is what you are shipping. Though I have a large collection I don't sell bottles but I know just because your bottle may be worth a lot more than you paid doesn't mean a buyer is sitting there waiting to give you your asking price. I enjoy your reviews though I found this one a bit to long and my interest started to wane.
I wish the age statement Mac was readily available here. Unfortunately it isn't. If you ever come to Toronto id love to take some off your hands if your willing to sell.
@Allen Brody You can find them at $180 - $189 in South. They just don't have the demand, but I've been glad to help them out with that problem. Burbons? There almost always empty on the good stuff down there.
Allen Brody Buffalo trace George T Stagg Bourbon that's hot on our list, and second would be Glendronach 15 Revival is also on the wish list for me in particular.
There are certain vintages of Macallan 18 that taste better than others. People will pay a premium for bottles that are no longer available, but the real premiums are paid for bottling years that are known to be outstanding. My 1995 bottle is not as good as my 1991 bottle. Even with the combining of large numbers of casks with the master distiller at work, there are variances in nose and taste. If I find a bottling that is exceptional, I buy as many as I can. People are crazy. I wouldn't pay more for a 10 year old whisky bottle if I know the current year's offering noses and tastes better.
I can buy 1996 and 1997 Macallan 18. In my country (Poland) its about 330 GBP each. But its 70cl and has wide purple opened in front hard box. In my country other version are not available. I don't know if that high price depends on that version? My research leads to Australia but I'm not sure. Do you know smth about this version and it's high price?? Thx
Not exactly sure but the North American Macallans are 750 ml/75cl. The Macallan 18s tend to raise in price by 50gbp annually depending on Vintage. I’m sure if you bought a 2017 it would be much cheaper.
Hi Rob, I think you do a great job. Don't worry about the mistakes. Macallan 18 is a kind of classic. I have a bottle of the 95 and an unopened 94. The best place to get it is at auction. I picked up the 94 for £150. It's great whisky but not worth the going price. There are other great sherried whiskies for far less. WT
I couldn't agree more. Great stuff, just not the best in it's class and too much money for what you get. £150 is a great price. That's roughly what I paid with the exchange. About $280 CAD. You've already made a bunch of profit on the 94. Thanks for the kind words and for watching. Cheers.
Ah yes,finally a great review and video on a nice bottle of 18 year Macallan. You hit on some very good points,especially if a "neophyte Scotch drinker" delves right in on a high quality Scotch like the Macallan. The "appreciation" would not quite be there until more experience is gained on the pallet. Towards the end of the video you looked like you were "hallucinating" from the quality of the Macallan Scotch. Nonetheless it was entertaining and you have it an "A."(or was that an EH !!!) HA !!! Great video and I am now a subscriber. Rock and Roll !!!
Lol, thanks for watching James. Depending on when I recorded this one I may have been really tired. I'm always in the market for more Macallan 18. It's a definite re-buy. Just popped open the 17 the other day. Review to come shortly.
Whisky In The 6 - Thanks for the reply. FYI Sold it for £600 (some box damage). In London there was a listing for one at £1000 but London prices are often inflated above the National average.
Great review Rob, recently started watching your reviews, and its good to watch a review on a whiskey i may like to try and add to my collection, you seem to like the same sort of whiskys as i do. I also have Macallan 18 1996 which i got a few years back for about £80, haven't opened it or the 12 yr old sherry cask. I have opened the 25 yr old but that's for special occasion's i.e my birthday, I'm sure you will notice a big difference once you get one. I would recommend trying to get your hands a Glen Deveron 30 yr old, could be a bit difficult as the distillery is no longer with us, or a 15 yr old Mortlach bottled by Gordon and Macphail, just a few suggesting for you. thanks.
Not sure why I'm just seeing this comment now. Thanks for the tips. The Mac 25 is so far out of my price range. I'll likely have to make it big in this industry just to try it. LCBO which is Ontario's government controlled liquor store doesn't have the greatest selection and tends to be at least 40% more expensive than the global market. Cheers, and thanks for watching.
Great review Rob! I feel guilty about mentioning the Tobermory/Speyside thing now. You do amazingly well to produce these videos and nobody would expect them to be perfect. I'd rather you chatted off-script like you do and made mistakes than read out the facts. As for the Macallan, I'm the same as you because I wont be opening my bottle. In May 2014 I could have got the 1994 version from Amazon UK for £122. I got my 1995 version in July 2015 for £145. Now the latest version is £199. It's sad that the price has gone so crazy it's become impossible to open the bottles without feeling it's a waste as a long-term investment. But that's the modern world, and there's plenty of cheaper whisky out there that tastes great. It was interesting that you gave the Macallan an 8 when it's meant to be the Rolls Royce of whisky. You'd think it would be a 10 every time but it's not going to be to everyone's tip-top taste.
I haven't given an A+ yet because there are too many 25 year old and older whiskies that I have yet to try. I still think Glengoyne 18 might be a touch better to be honest. Don't apologize, I'm more than happy to fix my errors. The Whisky Exchange has your 1995 bottle at £350 currently I believe. Well done that was a good catch. Thanks for watching David. I have a good felling about the Tomatin 18, we'll see how it stacks up to the Macallan.
My connection to masters of malt is currently back in Toronto so I'll have to wait a bit. Maybe I can find it south of the boarder in the US. Anything else you curious about?
Your right, Macallan is the most collectible. I won't buy it as it is way over priced. Especially the Fine Oak series of which I had the taste of 2 bottles of the 21 and was to light for me. There are better bottles for the price of the 18 yr also. I will go with Glendronach. I have the 12, 4 bottles of the 15, 18, 21 and the 1995 19 yr px cask 4028 If they keep raising the prices of the older 18 yr bottles each year, they will have a stock supply as no one will buy them at that price. You only gave it an 8 out of 10. Good review.
I live in Northern Ca. I've seen the Glendronach 15 in the San Ramon and Danville Bevmo for $109 and Draegars in Blackhawk down the street from me had a bottle yesterday for $99
My Dude, that is "the" bottle to have. Not to be negative, but...The pre-1995 it was a little darker on the back of the paxerette (grape must) being pressed into the casks. This was outlawed and the current editions (or post 1995), people swear by the dark stuff, though I anticipate that any 18 will be stellar. Prices have really made drinking such a dram, well, out of reach for most. I lean on the 15,18,21 Glendronach for sherry perfection these days, though I am certain that prices will eventually sky rocket there as well. I would love to see a Dronach Macallan shoot out. Perhaps the 15 Revival vs Mac 18, would make a great video. The 18 Allardice is fantastic as well, thought I feel that the Revival may be closer to the Mac 18. Well, I would love to hear your thoughts on Glendronach as a sub for Macallan.
Glendronach is likely tied for my favourite distillery. The Revival unfortunately is not available in Ontario. I was however very close to buying the 15 Revival for half the price of the Mac 18 when my sister in law was in Florida. The head to head would be an awesome video. I'll see what I can do. Two very tough bottles to get hands on where I'm at, but I'll try my best. Thanks for watching. I really appreciate it.
Macallan is WAY, WAY overpriced, mostly due to its huge marketing machine. I'd much rather drink the much cheaper and better Deanston 20 or Old Pultney 21!

I'm new to the world of scotch! I just picked up the Macallan 18 2016 release, would there be a difference if any, to the 1997 versus the 2016?
It's simply last years bottling. The 1997 was the last year that Macallan put the Year the whisky is barrelled and decided to switch to the date bottled.
Thank you for clearing that up! I really enjoy your vids, have you by chance reviewed the Macallan 10 fine oak?
I haven't. Eventually i will get my hands on it. Not available where I live so I have to get it when I travel.
Great review man, where do you get the drams in the small bottles? I'm buying single malts for my old man although he's a blended fan so I've collected all the JW and CR for him...so far got him the Mac 12 and the Mac 18 will be next (he won't open any bottle I bought him)
Christopher Chao thanks buddy. I bought the sample from mastersofmalt.com. My brother in law brought it back from England for me.
Nice bottle to have.
Which one do you like the best of Macallan 18 or Glendronach 15?
I know the Mac is 3 years older, but I've heard great stuff about the Glendronach 15.

Rob I have three bottles of Macallan 18 one bottle is a 1994 & two are 1995. I know these Macallan 18 are no longer being sold
You have commented that you flip bottles, if I decided to flip how much would it go for ? And where do you go to flip ?
Probably could get between $450-550 usd for each.
Thanks Rob !!
Great video! Very informative, as always, really appreciate your tasting notes and detailed explanations. Keep putting up vids sir.
Thanks buddy. Appreciate the kind words.
Hey I'm located in Southern California, can you tell me which bottles is worth collecting now? Also Which bottles to collect from Germany Market? Thank you
Any Macallan 18 year old that has a vintage on it 1997 or earlier. Not exactly sure what the German market has however. Cheers.
Hey Rob, I bought a bottle of Grangestone Highland Single Malt 18 year old as a gift. Never had it before...have you heard of it or better yet ever tasted it? If so, thoughts? Paid $62 USD...for that price point anything better you recommend? Thanks!

Good choices. Grab a Glenfiddich Malt Master's if any available. A great everyday Scotch.
Great review Rob. Thanks for taking the time to do these. Being in the GTA as well, it near impossible for us to trade Whisky. There is just no secondary market available for us.

That's a serious collection. Definitely worth a pretty penny. Did you do most of your purchasing in the US Jeremy?
Saw this in my local whisky shop today however it was priced at £225 here in the uk. Way out of my price range. Can you recommend one that is reasonably priced?
Gary Robinson as far as Macallans go the Edition 2 or 3 are great. Also the 12 year old Sherry Cask and the 12 Double Cask.
Nice review and also good to note the older vintage was imported to the USA by Remy Cointreau and now it's by Edrington Americas.I have a 1993 Macallan 18 and a 12 from Remy, the newer ones are lighter in color.
If I lived in the US I'd being looking for dusty mac 18's all over the country. They increase in value faster than almost any other whisky.
thank you for that advice I'll keep an eye out for them!!!
You are very welcome Hector. Cheers.
Hey I'm located in Toronto too. I was wondering where you ordered the Drinks by the Dram. I'm looking to try a few Scotches before shelling out for an entire bottle.

I found a 1997 mac18 at $270 US dollars plus shipping, should I go for it?
seems a bit expensive. That may be the going rate right now though.
Thanks
Cheers.
Small local liqour shop has a few bottles distilled in 1992 for about 220 bucks...worth it or no?
100%... buy 2 and I'll give you 240 + pay shipping bucks to send one to me. lol
That's a possibility
email me. whiskyinthe6@gmail.com
Have macallan stopped the age statement releases now, moving to the colour palette rubbish (ruby, gold, Amber etc)? I've not seen an age statement release here in BC.
When the LCBO or BC Liquor discontinue something, grab the last bottle. I got one of the last 4 bottles of Arran 10 in BC.
Macallan has stopped selling them in select markets like Canada. Still widely available in the US and Asia.
Fox Moulder is right. You can easily find age statement Macallan south of you in Washington State.
Thanks gentlemen. I thought those were just stocks they were running through. My next purchase I think will be a Springbank or Hazelburn. I'll review it too.
I have a unopened bottle of Mcallan 18 1997, how much is it worth today?
Probably around 1k

Glengoyne 21 has a very similar profile to Macallan but a can agree that Macallan has a very original style.
@Allen Brody You can find them at $180 - $189 in South. They just don't have the demand, but I've been glad to help them out with that problem. Burbons? There almost always empty on the good stuff down there.
South where? As far as bourbon's go, I'd rather trade mine for good single malts

Anywhere from $500-$700 usd.
Each.
i live in el paso texas. didnt know these were that rare. :o now i have a good reason to buy a macallan 18
Ya the US seems to have a surplus. Canada has 0.

I'm lucky got 5 bottle 18
How about testing Bruichladdich Black Art 4.1?
This is currently unavailable. I will keep an eye out for it. Thanks for watching.
Hi Rob. I just ordered the 4th edition from....
www.masterofmalt.com/
You may want to check it out.
My connection to masters of malt is currently back in Toronto so I'll have to wait a bit. Maybe I can find it south of the boarder in the US. Anything else you curious about?
I'm waiting to get my hands on the new Compass Box offerings .The Circus and Enlightenment.
I wish we had these Macallan age statements in Ontario....

Your right, Macallan is the most collectible. I won't buy it as it is way over priced. Especially the Fine Oak series of which I had the taste of 2 bottles of the 21 and was to light for me.

If they keep raising the prices of the older 18 yr bottles each year, they will have a stock supply as no one will buy them at that price. You only gave it an 8 out of 10. Good review.
I love GlenDronach. Smart of you to collect the series of them. Where are you located. I'd love to buy one of those GlenDronach 15s off you.
I live in Northern Ca. I've seen the Glendronach 15 in the San Ramon and Danville Bevmo for $109 and Draegars in Blackhawk down the street from me had a bottle yesterday for $99

I lean on the 15,18,21 Glendronach for sherry perfection these days, though I am certain that prices will eventually sky rocket there as well. I would love to see a Dronach Macallan shoot out. Perhaps the 15 Revival vs Mac 18, would make a great video. The 18 Allardice is fantastic as well, thought I feel that the Revival may be closer to the Mac 18. Well, I would love to hear your thoughts on Glendronach as a sub for Macallan.
Glendronach is likely tied for my favourite distillery. The Revival unfortunately is not available in Ontario. I was however very close to buying the 15 Revival for half the price of the Mac 18 when my sister in law was in Florida. The head to head would be an awesome video. I'll see what I can do. Two very tough bottles to get hands on where I'm at, but I'll try my best. Thanks for watching. I really appreciate it.
I appreciate the reply and will be looking forward to the revival 15 vs mac 18 if you get around to it.
@@WhiskyInThe6 I’m just curious, I own a unopened 18yr old from 1987 and earlier years, how much do you think it would sell for in U.S dollars?
Ever heard of a Glen Taite 19yo indie bottling at 40%? Was offered it at just shy of $100.
I haven’t even heard of it.
In Miami the 18 is $199 at Total Wine :)
W. Robert Millar good price.
Thanks, 1996 as well
W. Robert Millar that's actually really good then. Worth stocking up on.
@@WhiskyInThe6 I concur
just saw it at my local kroger today, 209.00
Good price. Grab it.
i need a bottle !!
Fucking it i would rather drink it.
I have 1993 macallan 18 year bought for150$ 2015
That’s a great price.
i can get it for 120 usd now
RIM MAX where? Share lol
Macallan is WAY, WAY overpriced, mostly due to its huge marketing machine. I'd much rather drink the much cheaper and better Deanston 20 or Old Pultney 21!
+drjlo1 try Glengoyne 18
