Default Birthday Scotch comparison...

21 Year Macallan
Love it, finished the last dram of it tonight. Very smooth and tasty.

25 year Macallan
Effing REALLY love it. The bouquet is much stronger, and it's even more smooth, and has a better flavor. Very rich.

Glenmorangie Signet
Not as strong of a bouquet as the 25, and has a similar taste to the 21. Not quite as smooth, but at 12% of the price of the 25, it's REALLY good scotch. Scott says this is his favorite.

The 25 will last me a LONG time, but I look forward to sharing it with special visitors. You don't drink $100/shot scotch, you share it for special occasions. Based on price, is it 3x better than the 21? No. BUT, it is still WAY better. If it were $1,000-1,200, I'd probably buy it more frequently. Having said that, I'm going to enjoy Scott's bottle for quite some time to come, and I do believe I might splurge and get another Mac 21. At $650/bottle, I can be a little more silly with the consumption.

If I were to rank them...

25 Mac is 1st
21 Mac and Glenmorangie Signet are tied for 2nd. Too close to call. Kinda like a Corvette vs. everyone else in the past, if based on price alone, Glenmorangie Signet wins easily.

I'm having a 2nd glass of Scott's scotch. The flavor is REALLY good. In fact, it's better than the 21.
