Macallan 7YO (40%, OB)
I don't know if this is a Italy Edition or an International Ediition.  But as a 7yo bottling, this is beter than I thought.  Balanced Sherry nose, Golden brown color.  Flowerish, flowerish, very dry woodiness.  Not too much caramel.  A little bit simple but not too un-acceptable. Score: 79.

Macallan 1841 Replica (41.7%, OB)
Golden color.  Smoky.  citrus fruit, not very sherry.  Finished dry.  15yo? Quite enjoyable but not worth that much money.  Standard Macallan, Dry, Oil. Score:  80.

Two samples taste in the Macallan new bottle market party.  It's very marketing.

Macallan 12yo (40%, OB, new bottle 2004, Sherry Cask)

Quite similar to the old one, but comes from good batch, not too much caremal.  Score: 80.  Reminds me the good time I had with this standard version in early years.  Kind of strange to hear the Macallan people said it has no "pigment" inside.  It's all naturl color.

Macallan 18yo Fine Oak (43%, OB)

Still very obvious sherry influency by nose.  But more fruitier and flowerer than old sherry cask version.  Golden color.  Very dry finish.  Kind of strong in body.  Layer taste.  Originally I gave it 80, but later I decided to give it Score: 82.  I actually quite like it.  Too bad I didn't have enough sample to add some water in.  I guess I only had 5~8 ml in the glass.

After yesterday's happy Bowmore advanture, I fiinally made up my mind to buy the famous Bowmore Fino cask 1964. I have been told by my fellow Maniacette Martine that this is the best Bowmore she has ever tasted.  Currently it is not for sell anywhere.  I found the #13 bottle left alone at the store.  Price is not cheap, almost 1200 Euro, about the market price.

Waiting for the package, I spot a strange bottle in the shop.  The Arran 1982?, How come?  I remember Arran was opened in 1995.  I think there is something wrong with the bottle.  I called Stephen and Brian immediately, they all later confrimed my findings.  I sent out e-mail to Maniacs and decide to buy a bottle to take pictures. Withe Johannes help, we soon get Arran's repond and confirmed it's a fake.  I told my friend Jason, who worked in the shop, to check it out.  They are now tracing the source.  I'll post the up-date once I got more inofrmation.
