I have a bottle of Macallan 18 from their Fine Oak series. I like the Sherry 18 better but it was pretty smooth. Just seemed to lack much in the way of character.

I had the 40 yr at a tasting, it was crazy good.

Soleful, what do you want to spend on the learning process and have you had single malts before? If so, what kinds and what did you think of the flavor profiles? If you never had a single malt, I would reccommend a "lowland" region whisky . It will be a flavor profile of sweet butterscotch with a smooth finish. You may try Glenkinchie, Auchentoshan or my pick for the brand new scotchdrinker, McClelland Lowland, it's about $22 per bottle. The others start in the $40's.

I highly recommend the Glenfarclas if you can find it. Very crisp and smooth with a heathery sweetness. In that respect a lot like the Dalwhinnie but with a bit more body.

And the Blue is something unique for a blend at least to me. Such a nice almost refreshing quality to it.

Now I've got a craving for one ofthe other and nothing is on hand!

I'll have to make do with a Dalmore Cigar Malt which isn't quite as satisfying as the name would suggest.
