It's a pretty good single malt, especially the 18 yr old. I prefer those that are peatier, by there really is no bad single malt (if it's aged).
BTW, I've never seen a 10 yr old Macallan. 12 is the youngest I've seen.
By all means, go. You'll have a terrific time.

A comfortable chair, Mahler on the hi-fi, a glass of the 25 yr old Macallan and wee bowl of poppycock is the closest to nirvana you'll likely find on the green side of the grass.

Mahler's Second Symphony is my fave! Along with Macallan 18! Oh, yes! The 25-YO is a bit watery to me, though. I have a bottle of the Grand Reserve that I have not touched, yet. It comes in its own casket! May it rest in peace (until I get ahold of it).

Haven't tried the Macallan for a few years. It was OK, but I discovered Islay.

Macallan is a masterwork in impressive fullness and complexity. Even though it is aged exclusively in sherry casks, the taste of sherry does not overpower the other elements.
Reminds me I am almost out.

Not exclusively in sherry casks. The Fine Oak is aged in three kinds: Spanish oak sherry casks; American oak sherry; and, American oak bourbon casks.
