Hey Nancy!   
      
    NB> so, a bottling from a variety of ages   
      
   Maybe depending on how they are bottling them.  Probably multiple barrels so   
   they may not want to go out on a limb as to the age of each barrel other than   
   it is no less than nine and no more than fifteen years.  :::shrugging my   
   shoulders:::   
      
    NB> Must be enough of the 15yo to mellow it out   
      
   Or mostly 10 to 12yo.  That would be my guess.   
      
    NB> It would appear that Macallan changed their mind about replacing   
    NB> the age-stated bottlings with the colour-coded... or at least   
    NB> haven't fully implemented it   
      
   Perhaps.  I see https://www.themacallan.com is advertising 10, 12, 15, 17, 18,   
   21, 25 and 30 year olds so I am uncertain about the schpeil about colour   
   codings.  Mind you I don't see anyone advertising any of those for sale,   
   certainly not locally.   
      
    NB> The Gold can help you space out the 15yo   
      
   The 15yo is reserved for 2018-01-01.  After that we'll see but my plan is to   
   return to my normal teetotalling ways for at least seven months after that.    
   However it isn't uncommon for someone(s) to drop by at this time of year and   
   persuade me to part with more of the gold but after 2018-01-01 I won't be   
   imbibing for a healthy stretch.  I am guessing the gold won't survive beyond   
   Christmas.  The 15yo will definetly be around for awhile and could easily be   
   around for 2019-01-01.  We'll see I am sure.   
      
   Life is good,   
   Maurice
