Macallan 18 years Sherry Oak $649

Too high class for me, I may not know the difference and waste such precious drops of these. I may stick with the cheap wines.

The macallan 18 that used to be available 10 years ago before name changes (the one in the show suits) was 400....650 is def too high.

If you don't mind me asking. I have a bunch of rare liquor from my father who passed. With out an auction how do you sell liquor in Canada?

Thanks for also posting the deal.

There are Facebook groups and you could even sell it on kijiji

To the experts here, what are some of the best wines out there?
During holidays I buy wine as gift and most of the time pick one that is higher priced , as I have no knowledge about wines.

Better to know what flavor type the person you are buying for likes then working around that

Depends on your budget. These are the best ones (If you have a lot of money to spend): Petrus (in red ) and Yquem (sweet white)

I tasted the 1990 Petrus (in a tasting show) and it was out of this world.

Nah... health hazard as well...

I have a couple bottles of 18 from 10 years ago that I picked up in a duty free shop in Heathrow. Must have been about $250 equiv. back then. Prices have sure gone up.

This is very expensive even for an 18 YO single malt! I am no expert but have never spent more than 200-250 for a 18YO scotch. You can get Glenfiddich, bowmore, Aberfeldy or even a highland park 18yo for around 200.
I am not saying Macallan is not better but someone like me wouldnt be able to tell the difference at that point. No argument if its a collectors thing though lol

What are these things worth on resale? I had no idea people resell. I have a bunch of more common sealed 18 year old limited edition single malts as I used to work for the distillery.

90% of the wine sold in north america is under $10

Think on that

OP, what are you expecting resale will be?

This is typically available in the US for $399 which even after conversion is cheaper than LCBO pricing.

Nothing

It's a 18 year old mass produced scotch, big deal

it's like people buying casio watches as an "investment"

In blind studies, people couldn't tell the difference between a $100 bottle of wine and a $10.

When people could see the prices, they unconsciously chose the higher priced one. Think on that

Why is everybody talking about wine. This is a scotch whiskey

Does anyone know the appropriate soda pairing with this? /s

When it comes to whiskey i can definitely tell between 12 yr McCallan and black label.

i've also had some really bad wine from loblaws, when we were students.
