Or cheaper Glendronach for that matter? It's 40-60% more expensive than Macallan here.

  Than Mac 12! Yeah, sorry: Mac 12 is probably a good value. The comparison I’m always seeing made is to Mac 18. (Actually, Binny’s current Mac 12 price in Chicago appears to be higher than Abunadh or Dronach 12 [which is fantastic]).

    I wouldn't really call anything Macallan good value. For a basic sherried whiskey Aberlour 12 is just about as good, for substantially less, and for what Macallan 12 goes for these days you have tons of (imo) more interesting/better options. I will say I had a dram of the 18 in a bar once, and it was indeed very very good, but I can't really justify spending ~$250 bottle for it.

      $250 for a bottle of Macallan is insane. It's not worth it. You're paying for the name.

        Yeah, in the early 2000s, there were bottles of Macallan 18 for $75 or so at Costco. It was a wonderful time.
