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
