You guys are correct, the Macallan is the smoother one. I started with the Glen as you can go rough to smooth but ya just can't go smooth to rough. Albeit in the scotch category technically both are very smooth. I myself prefer the Macallan as well. It was fun to expose folks who have never had exceptionally good scotch to some examples. Many peoples first experience is with not good scotch and it turns them off forever to what can be a very nice sipping event. Given different circumstances it would have been cool to show the difference a splash of water makes for "opening" up the scotch. Just no real way to do that wandering around pouring like we did. I will do my best to bring something even better next year. What I may do is just bring the Macallan vs something different? I am envious of TMM tasting club, it sounds like a hoot.
