Oh..My...Goodness! I just popped the seal on a bottle of Macallan Cask Strength, and I must say, this is the BEST whisky I have ever drunk! I am a big fan of sherry-casked whiskies, but this cask strength (around 116 proof) whisky is just unreal!

I had a sip in my mouth and for the first time tasted "honey" and "sweet" flavors that I have always believed to be figments of reviewer's imaginations.

If you like sherry-casked whiskies, do yourself a favor and spend the $60 (slightly less) on a FANTASTIC bottle!

Look at how DARK this whisky is, even on ice!

Jojo-

Since you are also a fan of the Macallan Cask Strength, I am curious what you think would compare to it, or even beat it at its own game!

I already have Aberlour A'bunadh on my list of things to try. Do you think it compares with the MCS?

Aha - yes, you read my mind - Aberlour A'bunadh - this is one I really enjoy....too!

Any others you'd recommend?

The Macallan and Aberlour can't be the only two distilleries who make a cask strength sherried whisky...
