Haven't tried the Macallan for a few years. It was OK, but I discovered Islay.

Laphroaig 15, Joe Bonamassa rattling the windows, the couch, and a bowl of peanuts for me, please.

Macallan is a masterwork in impressive fullness and complexity. Even though it is aged exclusively in sherry casks, the taste of sherry does not overpower the other elements.

Reminds me I am almost out.

Not exclusively in sherry casks. The Fine Oak is aged in three kinds: Spanish oak sherry casks; American oak sherry; and, American oak bourbon casks.
