   Hey Nancy!   
      
    NB> What age is that one...?   
      
   It doesn't say.  In fact when I looked it up on the internet they claim to be   
   no longer giving that information and according to https://www.t   
   ewhiskyexchange.com/p/18098/macallan-gold (and I quote);   
      
      Macallan Gold was released in late 2012 as part of a series of   
      colour-themed bottlings introduced to replace the distillery's   
      age-statement expressions.  Produced from 9-15yo first fill and   
      refill sherry casks, it was designed to sit between the now-defunct   
      10yo Sherry Oak and 10yo Fine Oak bottlings.   
      
   According to the label on the bottle;   
      
      EXCLUSIVELLY MATURED IN OAK SHERRY CASKS FROM JEREZ, SPAIN   
      
   Very good stuff and comparable to 12 year old Glenlivet and was only slightly   
   more expensive, roughly ten dollars Canadian difference.  Given that I'd be   
   inclined to return to tradition and purchase the 12 year old Glenlivet next   
   time.  I am guesstimating that won't be happening for at least another year   
   from now given that I still have the 15 year old for the 2018-01-01 cybertoast   
   ... and probably beyond.   
      
    NB> I'll be using one of the sampler Glenmorangies   
      
   Excellent.   
      
   Life is good,

       2024-11-05 is 2556 days from now and falls on a Tuesday.
