Â£160 for a 18yo ... There are far better 18yo for a lot lot less money

Really?! A Glenfarclas 21yo is Â£80, anCnoc 18yo is Â£70, Balblair 1990 (23yo) is Â£90.

£160 for an 18yo? Christ, keep it. It's not even that good.

It's scarey how they come up with thier prices, is it a single barrel, cask strength, ncf, no colour and bottled in a Lalique crystal decanter, if yes to all then I'll buy one, otherwise I'll second the " keep it " motto ...

Ok. I take your points. You're right.

Actually, I much prefer the Macallan Ruby over The Macallan 18 Sherry Oak and the Ruby is cheaper in your neck of the woods across the pond..

The Macallan 18 year old is on offer for Â£139.99 at Amazon and it has Free Delivery which is usually very fast from Amazon when you order whisky. Going by the image it looks like the Macallan 18 1996 2014 they are selling (which was very good) but they do not state this, it could possibly be the latest Macallan 18 year old 1997 vintage 2015 release.

You will find it here:
