![]() The host informed us that different ways of drinking whiskey would bring out different flavors in each individual blend. The Macallan 12 would have been perfect if it was served on the rocks. It also had a hint of ginger which added a pleasant flavor. ![]() Like the 18, the 12 had those vanilla undertones that I really like. Next we sampled the Macallan 12, which is a 12 year Spanish oak whiskey. It had a flavor that was particularly fruity, but it also had an oak like flavor which tended to linger. I was wondering how it was going to compare with the 18 that I had first sampled. The Macallan brand ambassador was awesome! He was entertaining, extremely informative, and completely involved with the audience. We were seated at tables that sat between 8-10 people, which were equipped with ipads that had Macallan trivia. Two sips through, we were lead to the sitting area where the tasting would take place. I could smell the vanilla and cinnamon undertones, which is what I look for in my whiskey of choice, and sipped slowly. As soon as I entered the room I was given a glass of the Macallan 18. Upon arriving, I was surprised to see the amount of people there. So, when I attended a celebration of Macallan Whiskey, I knew I was in for a fantastic evening. So, we went back to basics and grew to enjoy pure, unadulterated whiskey…on the rocks. We tried the honey and maple flavored whiskey, which were really good, but ultimately too sweet. Unfortunately, flavored alcohol tends to be filled with tons of extra sugar. We took baby steps into the whiskey pool and decided to try sweeter versions to start with. After much consideration, we went with whiskey. This past spring actually – my best friend and I decided that we needed to switch to a big girl drink. Example: A glass of merlot is idea for some couch time after a long day of work vodka being a better happy hour beverage that will put some pep in your step and sauvignon blanc is great for any casual daytime scene. Or better yet, I believe certain drinks are designated for certain occasions. I tend to bounce around when it comes to my choice drink. I would definitely say that I’m a girl who can truly appreciate a quality cocktail.
