No kidding? Macallan 25 sounds amazing. They carry the 12 at most stores here, but at $80 for a bottle I haven't bought it. I did buy a glass at a whiskey room in Vermont though. The deer hammer drinks more like a Scotch to me. If you have ever had Minor Case it is kind of like that.
Back in 2008 I used to be able to buy a Macallan 12 at Sam's Club for $45, how times have changed.... The 25 will run you $2500 minimum, I tired it a bar, a guy I knew loved the stuff and bought me a round. I'm sure it was around $200 a shot!
I'm going to look out for Deer Hammer, Total Wine sometimes carries items from smaller producers,
Wow, that in insane! I can't even imagine how good it was. I hope you are able to find it and you end up enjoying it!
It's amazing stuff, the smoothest and most flavorful whisky I've ever tasted. It's hard to explain in words just how good it was!
