I'm a bit jealous of your collection. I have been wanting a bottle of Macallan for a while now, but I just can't bring myself to spend the $70 on it. I know I won't be disappointed when I do, but I just have to work up to it. I tried Oban at a bar about a year ago. I thought it was pretty good. My friend didn't care for it. That sucks about your taste and smell. Have you tried those tablets you dissolve on your tongue? They are supposed to change the way things taste for you. I think you can get them on Amazon. My sister in law showed them to us. I think a lot of chemo patients use them because of how that impacts their sense of taste and smell. Might be something worth looking into until you are back to normal!
No need for jealousy here. That bottle is done anyhow. I like the 18 year much better than the 12 and definitely better than the 15. I would skip the 15 in my opinion. Save up for the 18!
That Oban is pretty good. They make a few different ones and I don't care for them all. I do like the Bowmore 12 year is nice. Very smoky but nice.
I'll have to look into the tabs, but the problem is deep in my nasal passage and not the actual taste buds. Not sure what the tabs do. They may have something to do with the actual taste buds. I'll look into it though.. Thanks!!
Good to know! I will probably just start with the 12 and work my way up. Skipping the 15 of course!
I would try all three at the same time, if you're out and they have it. Then you'll see the differences. I like to do that when time and money allows. Except for Pappy. I can't bring myself to drop over $200 for a glass of that neat. I hear it's not worth it.
