Reviewed: Macallan Product Lineĭefined by its rich, spicy notes of wood and dried fruits, as well as a nose of light vanilla, the sherry oak 12 year bottle of Macallan is one of their most popular bottles, costing anywhere between $69.99 and $99.99. A good representation of a Speyside single malt, without many surprises. It’s a great first bottle to pick up if you’re looking to get into Scotch but don’t want to break the bank. Available in 12, 15, 18, and 21 year age statements, Glenfiddich is also usually less expensive than Macallan.

I’m particularly fond of the 14 year carribean cask, which is finished in rum barrels. Balvenie has a core line consisting of their 12 year doublewood bottle, 14 year caribbean cask, 17 year doublewood and 21 year portcask. Cask finishing is the process by which a whisky aged in one type of cask is switched to the second type of cask for its final few months of aging, imbuing it with a new range of properties and flavors. In operation since 1892, Balvenie was the first to pioneer cask finishing. Glenlivet is competitive in price and quality with Macallan and offers 12, 14, 15, 18, 21, and 25 year bottles in their standard retail offerings.īalvenie is distilled in Dufftown, Scotland, and owned by William Grant & Sons. Produced at the Glenlivet distillery in Ballindalloch in the Glenlivet parish of the Moray region, it is the most popular single malt scotch in the United States today and the second most widely sold single malt in the world. There are many Speyside scotches to choose from when looking for something comparable to Macallan, each with their own strengths and weaknesses.
The Speyside region of Scotland is the most prolific Scotch producing region in Scotland and possibly in the world.
