so, a bottling from a variety of ages
Maybe depending on how they are bottling them. Probably multiple
barrels so they may not want to go out on a limb as to the age of each barrel other than it is no less than nine and no more than fifteen
years. :::shrugging my shoulders:::
If they aren't mixing them, then there's no reason to not give the age
from the barrel it's bottled from.... But it might have been a way to
use up odds and ends... ;)
Must be enough of the 15yo to mellow it out
Or mostly 10 to 12yo. That would be my guess.
Possibly some of each... ;) Probably wouldn't take too much 15yo if
it were mostly 10 to 12... :)
It would appear that Macallan changed their mind about replacing
the age-stated bottlings with the colour-coded... or at least
haven't fully implemented it
Perhaps. I see https://www.themacallan.com is advertising 10, 12, 15,
17, 18, 21, 25 and 30 year olds so I am uncertain about the schpeil
about colour codings. Mind you I don't see anyone advertising any of those for sale, certainly not locally.
Maybe they changed their mind about going to colours... maybe they got
some backlash about blending... not exactly a single malt if it's
blended... ;)
The Gold can help you space out the 15yo
The 15yo is reserved for 2018-01-01. After that we'll see but my plan
is to return to my normal teetotalling ways for at least seven months after that. However it isn't uncommon for someone(s) to drop by at
this time of year and persuade me to part with more of the gold but
after 2018-01-01 I won't be imbibing for a healthy stretch. I am
guessing the gold won't survive beyond Christmas.
Seems to me other years, you've had help imbibing after the first of the
year, so you might want to try to stretch the gold until after then.. ;)
But my point was that since you have the gold, it will protect the
15yo.. ;)
The 15yo will definetly be around for awhile and could easily be
around for 2019-01-01. We'll see I am sure.
Just don't let any of the usual suspects know it exists, and you'll
have an easier time of keeping it around... :)
