Anyone else livid about Macallan's decision to nix all age statement whiskies besides 18 in favor of their new "1824" line that only differentiates by color? I'm more than halfway through my Mac 15 Fine Oak and going to be super depressed when my only options are sherry cask aged whiskys with no guidance on age whatsoever.

Marketing is a bitch.

Mac 12 got the axe too. That's my daily!

Fuckers.

Laph is way too peaty for me.

I'd rather glenlivet 12 as a daily (just me, not a huge macallen fan).
How is the balvenie 15? Balvenie 12 is my new favorite (affordable) 12.

not fucked with that canadian shit, but Powers irish whiskey (15) is my thing. Hard/often expensive to come by here in England but @Orc and @Witty Wonka will know about that

got a couple bottles of Grants/Glenfidditch about 3/4s and 1/2 full at home in the drinks cabinet

dark rums more my thing though

i only really have whiskey if friends are coming back to ours after a night out

That's a good question. I didn't even know that was a thing.

The idea of sending liquor away is foreign to me.
