Congrats guys! Keep up the great content! Cheers to 200 reviews, and here's to many more.
I love that you guys wore suit jackets for the video! A huge congrats on your 200th review!
@7:15 the joy of the fella on the left!!
Congratulations on your 200th review and celebrating with Macallan 6! The presentation is just so awesome; it's about $5-8,000 in Japan.
Just bought my bottle…been looking for a long time for this bottle. Can’t wait to get it and try it. Thank you for your review. Helped me in y buying decision 💯
I luv how you guys dress up for Macallan! -if thats the case.
I don't even dress up for my legal office job. I sit in a t shirt drinking this stuff 🤭
congrats guys all around...glad you all got the opportunity to taste another epic bottling..CHEERS
Congratulations on the big 200!
Very nice boys! So jelly! Keep up the good work!
You just have to take into account the decanter when considering the 'price' That there is Lalique and stand alone empty its worth a lot of money :)
Great review. You guys deserve it🥃 Scotland 2020
Congrats guys!
Awesome!!! Thank you
Man that color is out of this world. Great review gents
It was almost too dark if that's even possible.
-Shawn
I want to try this one for sure! Macallan never ceases to amaze me.
Awesome! Cheers Gents.
Great video guys!
It should have been cask strength, with an age statement, and NCF for that crazy price tag.....but I bet it tastes great! Cheers and congrats!
Travis Faircloth sherry SEASONED casks at that price? Its a ripoff
congrats on the 200th review gents, heres to another 200!
Thanks for helping us get this far. We don't plan to stop now.
-Shawn
Nice review. Yes, I believe it tastes like a 4 out of 4. The whole thing is a peace of art and art can cost lots of money as we know ;). From my point of view, its just a crazy price for a "maybe 20 years" old first fill sherry. I got the Glenglassaugh 30 Sherry 42% as a gift(300$) and I dont think after watching your review the Macallan comes near it, which makes me very happy! Your performance was a 4 out of 4, thank you :)
Awesome review fellas. I am so envious of this bottle, I look forward to hopefully trying this one day. This is a review that you will not see that many of, mainly because of the price and availability. I'm a up-and-coming reviewer myself (Drams on Deck) and the most rare macallan product that I have reviewed is the Macallan Edition 1.
What state are you guys located, you seem to get good prices on spirits?
Cheers! With this bottle you are really going into the collectors market. Here Macallan and Highland Park are the leading one.
Looking forward to the premiere guys. Not one I would personally buy if i had 3K to spend on a bottle of whisky unless I had more money than I could ever spend.That said it will be a great tasting whisky for sure.Just wondering what you plan on doing with the decanter when you eventually finish the bottle, keep or sell?
Hey guys, glad you like(d) it so much! Regarding the quality-comparison with Glendronach/Glengyone 21 or some older single cask cask strength bottlings I actually regard it as an encouragement that this quality can be achieved way more inexpensively. Perhaps - and I don't know if other Macallans/others have been (even) better in the past - it also shows that there is an end to what our senses can taste/appreciate. Plus, it's good to know there are different styles of whisky that can reach the top of the mountain.
One more thing regarding the cooperage and casks selected. Judging from the 43% abv and the 20 years of age (and 21yo Glendronach single casks as reference), taking a very conservative approach Macallan only had to use two sherry butts to produce 750 bottles. :-)
Can you guys put this up blind against a good Glendronach and Glengoyne? It would be great to see the quality of the liquid objectively up against some others.
That would be so ballsy and captivating. I'd wake up in the middle of the night to watch it just like a good 1990s nba playoff finals.
Elijah Ammon the price surely doesn’t justify the difference
Congrats boys. Definitely a crazy bottle. Wish you guys could have separate that money out and do a few more bottles like a Brora, etc.
Great review. But honestly I think you should take price into your rating like your other reviews.
Congratulations on obtaining a great bottle guys.
I need that Macallan M and M Black. Copper is good too but those other 2 are something special in my opinion.
One cannot ignore the effect that having a bottle of that price in front of them has when it comes to establishing a score. If I'm reading body language and tone here, I'd say you were a tad underwhelmed with this scotch. I've seen past 4444 reviews and every one of you were far more passionate about those scotches than this one.
I could imagine you are more exited, if you are pleasantly surprised. This one set the bar of expectations so high they might've been just relieved it did not fail. Just imagine No. 6 got them a 2-2.5...so much inner fury. ;-)
Thank you for this review.
I have been drinking macallan since the 1970's and it is my favourite whiskey.
I still have an unopened bottle of 1976 18year old bottle. A whiskey trader offered me £2000 for it which I declined.
I have been buying the 18 year old ever since .
It's a brilliant taste nice and peaty and woodey.
We were very lucky and privileged to be able to not only sample this, but then to share every remaining drop with our subscribers! It was an experience we'll never forget! ~Mark
@@Scotch4Dummies I wish I had been there :-)
If he offered 2 its probably worth more
@@Openmindallthetime143 I know thats why I turned down the offer. It seems to be offered at £2999.00 in the UK and £4000.00 + in America.
@@jeremytravis360 oh i know that place that's where they have the new of the york and the coney of the island
Congrats from Tula, Russia, guys! Keep it going! Love it!
Nice!!! How are scotch prices over there? ~Mark
15-50% higher than in the USA, I believe. Not a big choice either. Just some mass market brands. And keep it in mind that the av. monthly salary is something like $500.
All boozes are more expensive but vodkas. Vodkas, even very high quality vodkas here are very cheap. Too bad vodka is Not my cup of tea ))
Gratuliere zum 20ten Video, Hut ab und Liebe Grüße Constantin
Vielen Dank, Constantin
Seems like a jewel, u lucky guys :)
Yup seems like the perfect sherry scotch. Depend on what you're saying. Let's compared it to Glengoyne 25, who's 1/5 of the price. I'm really curious about your opinion.
Soulja Boy probably mixed it with cola
A side-by-side with Rare Cask (also NAS and premium) might be interesting, thanks guys.
I can tell you this one is FAR better than the Rare Cask. Of course, it is also considerably more expensive too.
-Shawn
I think the telling comment was saying a 5,000 bottle "stood up to" a couple 200$ bottles (Canadian $). Why would I go from reasonable prices for special event Scoch to "first car/some peoples house down payment". I think this needs a flavor that is unlike anything existing for that price. Would scotch tycoons ever actually reach for this when dropping thousands? Or is MacAllen becoming the next Johnny Walker where people see the money first and taste second.
Oh I remember saying that and thinking the same thing. I honestly think all Mac's are overpriced, but of course this one is targeting a different class of scotch drinker for sure. To cut the price a little explanation, the crystal decanter is worth close to $2k and the box is made of corian! The one thing I could say is if you paid for this you got good scotch. Now personally, there isn't a scotch out there that I would say is worth this kind of price, but that's my financial status. If I had disposable income where the price didn't matter....maybe, but let's be real...for $4k I expect life changing and ain't no scotch gonna change my life...hahah!! ~Mark
Crystal always makes things taste awesome
You should try the glendronach kingsman
4-4-4-4!!! Nice bottle, thanks for reviewing something like this.
Do you guys have any thoughts about this compared to the Reflexion? I'm thinking of getting a bottle...
Wow. I really think these guys didn’t want to say a bad word about it and were too lenient with the scores
That ain't true Jimmy.... I really went into this looking for something to knock it for...minus the price because the price is stupid on this bottle..... I mean if I have to take that into consideration I'd not be reviewing it! Anyhow, I wanted to knock it for the 43% ABV, but couldn't because it drank wonderfully....I hoped I'd get that sulfur nose that I commonly get in Macs...but it wasn't there...Now I know this is all subjective and everyone is influenced or biased by something, but I did try to be as honest with this as I could and I believe my fellow dummies did too....Anyhow, thanks for watching and commenting!! ~Mark
Man...I thought Rare Cast was "high class" welp. I guess I'll drink it now
Interestingly, this is the middle range bottle in the series....the M is almost twice as much...hahahah!!! ~Mark
I feel like the Mac 6 should have it's own scoring system. You guy's can't score this with the same numbers as a Spey Fumare (No disrespect to the Spey, I'm buying it this Friday) 😄😄😄😄
But I'm just saying ... Its a Macallan 6 😅😅😅😅
I can see your point here for sure! ~Mark
I have a macallan No. 6 and an "M" for sale. 2k for the 6 and 3k for the "M". Excluding the boxes....
Very interesting to see a bottle like this reviewed. There is no way any whisky 'taste' can live up to that price I think.
Probably only if all whisky up to $2.000/bottle tasted like crap and this was the only good stuff out there.
When it makes you want to cry, you know it was worth it.
Huge congrats on the 200th review. Love your channel. One thing you might want to consider is leaving price/value out of your ratings. This always confuses me. I have seen you mark down some poor hard working distilleries product for being $120 when you thought $100 would be more like it. Then you come to this Macallan and totally leave price/value out of the picture! It would be more fair, and in my opinion better if you just reviewed whiskies, rated on taste smell and finish. Then you could of course talk about price/value separately. I know on every day scotches it is hard to separate value from the review. But the fact is we can’t taste and smell what you are tasting and smelling, but we can draw our own conclusions about value. Something to think about.
Great review guys what next the M
Whew....not sure we're up for that price....heck this was to celebrate 200 reviews....which only took close to 4 years... :-)
Oddly a Supermarket by me has a $6222 bottle of Macallan M. Odd to see it there.
It ain't goin' no where...hahah! But ya', odd place huh. ~Mark
Great video, it's been my dream to try a high end Macallan ever since I trie the 12. I don't suppose I can request a sample of this rare gem?
keep dreaming buddy ... it aint gonna happen! lol
Presentation and Reputation sure . Price NO WAY same as Revival
맛있겠다!!
Makes the Mac 18 seem like a bums' choice huh? The Lalique is half the value, the name and the packaging another 1/3 so a Mac 25 would be a better value and I never thought I would utter those words.
They aren't drinking it properly, you're supposed to chug that thang!
Please note that all Macallan has a hologram with number you will find it on every bottle
Yep.... I realized that after I got so excited about it...hahah!! ~Mark
Scotch 4 Dummies With a bottle like that i can understand the excitement. 👍
This Macallan series represents everything I despise about the whisky industry today.
I can't argue your feelings on this one....and I can tell you you're not alone! ~Mark
This is sanctioned by AA..Buy generously but drink moderately.
What about LAST DROP WHISKEY ?
What is type the sherry cask? Pino? Ololosso? Px?
Never mentioned! Macallan only says 1st fill "Sherry" European Oak casks from a specific cooperage (Tevasa).
Most likely Olorosso because that's their flagship method.
Oscuro???
In your other reviews do you take price into the equation? I think you have back yourself into a corner with this review. Was it really any better than one of the great sherry bombs that are out the. What gets me is there’s nothing on this one to say unchilled filtered. Why did you not pour and let it breathe first. I do enjoy your reviews. But I think you did this one all wrong.
that's what she said...
I knew someone would catch that!
-Shawn
Prefiro 51 pinga caipirinha 🇧🇷
Not sure why the cost hasn’t been taken into account like all other reviews you guys do. Let’s face it, you guys know your way around whisky... this bottle is terrible value for money. You could buy so many bucket list whiskies instead of this. Congratulations on 200 reviews!
"You could buy so many bucket list whiskies instead of this" Best comment I've read about this review and I couldn't agree more. Super cool they got to try it though!
Congrats guys, but are you sure dummies have any business with this whisky in their possession? :P
Why not? :-)
Its $5100.00 a bottle here in Ontario. that's way over priced for a 20 yo spirit.
Won't argue that! Personally, I would say that about any spirit at that price. But, that's just because that price is so far out of my personal budget. I mean at that cost it better change my life... LOL ~Mark
I got the 6 for 2k?
Isnt that a $3000 bottle
It's all over the place on price, $3-5k! ~Mark
FOUR undranked guys wanting to get drunk
Not on this, at it's price!! LOL ~Mark
Very strange review, This is why I love Ralfy.
Not sure how to reply...thanks for the comment?
@@Scotch4Dummies It seems like a very strange move to review a super expensive whisky and throw out price. Price needs to be a part of every review. That is my opinion anyways.
I didn't know they had a 6 out yet I didn't even know they had a 5 out yet
I believe your referencing to the edition series. This bottle is called no.6 for the 6 Macallan pillars. Its not apart of edition series.
$3K. I’ll pass.
Can't argue that!
Rich people problems
Price is absolutely ridiculous. Period.
This video is why I don't trust your judgement! 1) what do you mean by ignoring the price? Price is part of a review!!! Is this bottle Worth 4000$? Hell No! 2) it's easy to give a 4 to 4000$ bottle, but you need courage and self control to over come the marketing brain wash that the design and publicity that macallan creative teams injecting your brain. 3) all you have to do is one of you to say 3 or 3.5 and your review was sound much more reliable....
The marketing of Macallan is unbelievable. Although I will say, this tasted like no other Mac I've ever had before. It was really enjoyable and a nice surprise. Hell no it's not worth the price....but we're glad we had the opportunity to try it.
@@Scotch4Dummies agreed! FYI I'm watching all of your videos!!!
You only drink that with people you really like.
We gave most of it away! Whisky is better shared. ~Mark
We all have that one wealthy friend with a generous heart. Tis a blessing to sample old rare whiskies.
200 reviews and only 6.6k viewers - you need to change the format.
It’s regular alcohol you’re just paying for the name the expensive bottle and box and A bunch of mumbo-jumbo just the alcohol alone without the name is probably couple dollars to make
It's good, but no doubt all that stuff you mentioned is what drove the price!! ~Mark
That is just stupidly ridiculous.
You pay your good money for the presentation.
You get some 43%, chill-filtered "special" NAS??
This is beyond ridiculous, should be a default "1", just for the ridiculous packaging, presentation and ho-ha to sell the idea of something special from Macallan.
Got a Mac 18 from the 90's ?
There, done, you got the last of the special ones, after that they just went overboard and downhill into lala-land.
Sherry seasoning is inferior. Sherry matured casks are far superior. At that price they’re ripping you off. This is not aimed at experienced drinkers. I’d rather get vintage auction whiskies.
With Springbank quality is the marketing. Im really getting tired of over inflated marketing like Macallan and Dalmore. We pay for it. And who asked for chill filtration and fake colors and confusing marketing names? Age is not confusing.
7.44 MIN DUDE ON THE LEFT NEED TO ACT LIKE HE IS ENJOYING 4000$ . INSTEAD HE MAKES THIS FACE HMM WHAT THE FUK IS THIS SHIT WHAT AM I DRINKING.
THAT IS ME WHO NEVER TRIED HARD LIQUER IN MY LIFE AND I CAN MAKE THAT FACE BUT DUDE IS EXPERT AFTER ALL HAHHA
