Macallan is definitely not to my taste, but that 'aftertaste like a cigarette' sounds way off; might want to re-approach the manager that it was a bad bottle (not just that you don't like it); and if he won't budge, find out who the local distributor is and call them. I got a batch of Laphroaig once with bad corks, one of which had visibly molded or corroded. The local distributor was great, swapped me new bottles even for the opened one.
