I got through a few bottles of the Macallan 1988 18 year old and IMO it was as good as any Macallan 18 i have had and i have had quite a few.

Big Mac, have you had the 1995? I had it recently and was not as impressed as usual, was wondering if others felt the same

Regards

Yes i have had a bottle of this, It certainly wasnt the best Mac 18 i have had, i marked it as 85/100 in my notebook and also noted it as being a bit heavy on the sherry and wood and a touch bitter, it was still very drinkable but i didnt seek out a 2nd bottle to drink which i usually do if i like it.
