Members' comments "Pleasant, but not inspiring. I expected more", "Quite mundane." The Ford Transit of whiskies", "Lacks balance. The alcohol dominates. Expected more of an 18 year old", "Bit disappointing as I was expecting more from a Macallan", "A let-down for what we hoped to be a gem", "Smooth and well balanced with lasting alcohol and malt and wood, with nothing outstanding", "A biggish whisky - more effective quaffed than sipped", "Excellent malt - even for Cadenhead. Improves with water".
