Never tried the 16 MACS, how is it?

I haven't cracked the bottle yet. I've had it before, though, and as I recall... I liked it a lot.

Alright, I poured myself a little. My memory served me right, it's a very good scotch. It's got a sherried sweetness, typical of the speyside, very slight oaky note, taste kind of lingers but it's pleasant. I'm surprised you haven't tried this... your moniker is speyside, afterall.
For the money... I think the Macallan 12 or the Balvenie Doublewood 12 at mid 40's are a better deal. It's better, for sure... but probably not 30 dollars better.
I have had the Balvenie Doublewood 17, though... and at $158, it's worth the extra coin. I should have sprung for that one.
Edit #2:
Perhaps it
is worth the extra $30. Damn. This is really good. And I'm not quite drunk.
Edit #3:
It's worth the extra $30. Smooth as fkn butter. No burn, slight spiciness, the oakiness is what lingers, but it's pleasant. IIRC I smoked an Opus X with this, and the raisin notes complemented the drink.
Jesus... it's amazing what an old mind can recall when you splash it with a little booze!
