hmm.... will be interested to hear your take on the Rare Cask, Cut 25, and the 21 year, All good offerings, I just have a hard time with any of the Macallans anymore, they just seem too linear to me. Sounds like a fun time

I passed up the opportunity to get the Harmony Collection and now I’m bummed. To me that was the best Macallan. Sweeter than the others.

The Glenrothes 18 was better bang for the buck as the 25 was a bit dry with some bite on the finish because of it. The Maker’s Cut was good too, I can’t remember if I heard a price. (That was 9 samples in) but I might put it on par with the 18.

When you're out of vermouth you make modifications. This was acceptable.

You need buy some Black Walnut Bitters. It's a game changer when it comes to Manhattans. @BarberDave @AvocadoQueen and @mvargo know what I'm talking about
