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.  |
Always fun to try new batches. So many different flavors out there and levels of "bite"
Sometimes a little snap can bring out other flavors. I've had some great whiskys that had more bite than I prefer but the taste was outstanding.
