Default Macallan Cask Strength

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?

Any others you'd recommend?

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