Never been big on Macallan. I've tried all of their standard line and it's always left me with a "hoh-hum, that was ok" impression. It's not a bad whisky by any stretch of the imagination, but I find it to be basically the whisky equivalent of OpusX or Cohiba: significantly over-hyped/over-marketed (and as a result over-priced) to the point where it can't meet the expectations it's set for itself.
