The Macallan No.6 - This Is a Must See!

Congrats gents on your 200th review and what a bottle for the review! Cheers!

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 💯

[@AlinJapan]

Congratulations on your 200th review and celebrating with Macallan 6! The presentation is just so awesome; it's about $5-8,000 in Japan.

[@Industrialist2015ofUk]

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 🤭

[@whiskyfreedom8494]

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.

[@RomainRiviere]

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.

[@riheg]

Elijah Ammon the price surely doesn’t justify the difference

[@JenniferJames007]

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 :)

[@SantanaTheeGreat]

I want to try this one for sure! Macallan never ceases to amaze me.

I need that Macallan M and M Black. Copper is good too but those other 2 are something special in my opinion.

[@travisfaircloth]

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!

Great review. But honestly I think you should take price into your rating like your other reviews. Congratulations on obtaining a great bottle guys.

[@jeremytravis360]

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.

[@mishalap4858]

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 ))

Thanks for helping us get this far. We don't plan to stop now. -Shawn

[@zachburns8214]

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.

[@Scotch4Dummies]

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

[@stephanegagnon5430]

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.

[@Richard-ck5zk]

Do you guys have any thoughts about this compared to the Reflexion? I'm thinking of getting a bottle...

[@batutasci]

Seems like a jewel, u lucky guys :)

[@majordramage2712]

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.

[@Hogibaer]

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. ;-)

[@ronaldb479]

Crystal always makes things taste awesome

[@Grant0610]

Congratulations on the big 200!

[@bedlamborn]

Cheers! With this bottle you are really going into the collectors market. Here Macallan and Highland Park are the leading one.

[@Hogibaer]

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. :-)

[@ben_diedrich]

Congrats guys!

[@WheelHouse1of1]

Great review. You guys deserve it🥃 Scotland 2020

[@phillyscorpio3804]

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 😅😅😅😅

[@Scotch4Dummies]

I can see your point here for sure! ~Mark

[@justinmaizeblue]

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.

[@yogibearstie]

Oddly a Supermarket by me has a $6222 bottle of Macallan M. Odd to see it there.

[@falkskorea7941]

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 :)

[@TheOneGlassMan]

A side-by-side with Rare Cask (also NAS and premium) might be interesting, thanks guys.

[@Scotch4Dummies]

I can tell you this one is FAR better than the Rare Cask. Of course, it is also considerably more expensive too. -Shawn

Awesome! Cheers Gents.

[@kian765]

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?

[@jasimhayat1]

Wow. I really think these guys didn’t want to say a bad word about it and were too lenient with the scores

[@Scotch4Dummies]

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

[@dramsondeck985]

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?

[@menacheml4337]

You should try the glendronach kingsman

[@정다워-p5y]

What is type the sherry cask? Pino? Ololosso? Px?

[@Scotch4Dummies]

Never mentioned! Macallan only says 1st fill "Sherry" European Oak casks from a specific cooperage (Tevasa).

[@sikhpilot.]

Most likely Olorosso because that's their flagship method.

[@jonathansadler98q43]

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?

[@WhiskyMystery]

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.

[@jimidrammer4187]

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.

[@alexli5720]

4-4-4-4!!! Nice bottle, thanks for reviewing something like this.

[@charlesmontgomery3701]

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.

[@salvatorelofranco6982]

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.

"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!

[@חזקואמץ]

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....

[@Scotch4Dummies]

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.

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.

[@bavariasuhl]

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.
