@loydelee21 I'm not sure where you are and based on some of the research I've done the price of the Macallan 30 has risen here in the US from about $375 a bottle in 2007 to over $900 (closer to $1000) today. That's pretty steep. At those prices the Macallan 18 may represent the best overall value? Sort of like the diminishing returns in audio equipment? lol
Best single-malt Scotch...
I have to give credit to Redwiki for the inspiration to start this thread. Yes, certain malts better compliment certain music or certain moods. Of the fifteen or so different malts in my cabinet right now, my favorites are: Aberlour "Antique", similar to the popular Macallan, but not as syrupy; a bit drier, light hearted and less complicated; great with Mozart and Brubeck. Mortlach "Limited Edition" cask strength. Powerful, smoky, mysterious. Great with Bartok, Berg and late 'Trane. Loch Morar 25 yr old. Incredibly complex and intense, with a hint of honey and flowers. Great with Poulenc, Stravinsky and Bill Evans. Any other single-malt aficionados out there?
