Balvenie Portwood is probably the best scotch I've ever tasted. Haven't had Macallan 18 though...

I liked the Mac 12 more than the dram of doublewood I tried, I detected more sherry influence so that may be why, but figured that may change as time goes on, maybe not. I'll check around for the Glenfarclas 15, so far I have seen 12 and 17 and the 17 is nearly twice the price. Just wanted confirmation that I was following the correct flavor profile path.
Taps or someone suggested Balvenie caribbean (rum) cask, so that's on my list to try also. No hurry, one bottle at a time, meanwhile I am still a bourbon guy by nature.
Thanks once again T.
