Aberlour 18

Never go cheap when it's unnecessary. Oh great! The Abbie 18 is available in the US again and the %abv is the same as the Macallan 18. Could this be the Mac substitute/killer? Hell NO! I admit the Abbie is a sherry funfest but it's crude. It doesn't possess the same delicate fruity sherry the Mac is known for. When I want a cheap sherried single malt thrill then the Aberlour 18 is the one. Heck, it's only 1/2 the cost of the Mac.
