I do like Macallan 12 and frequently have it on the shelf, but I think to call it the best is a matter of opinion. I’m not a scotch expert but my go to is usually Oban 14 which isn’t much more expensive than the Macallan. People do absolutely pay a lot of money for lower quality whiskey though, which I don’t understand.<>
The Scotsman’s point was that there is no “really good Scotch’’ better than McAllen-12 & that any more expensive Scotch was a scam.
“Blends’’ are also a scam according to him; they only drink single malts. Chevis Regal is half irish whisky.
History tells that before WWII, Irish Whisky was very popular worldwide; but the IRISH refused to enter the
War with the Allies, so Allied nations all switched to Scotch & Scotch remained the preferred whiskey post-War.
Also, my variable spellings of ‘’whisky’’ & ‘whiskey’’ above are correct. In Ireland, it is ;’WHISKY’’, sans an ‘’E’’.
I am no expert in this, but am repeating what an ‘’expert’’ told us decades back.
