I believe MacAllan (among others) ages some of their higher-end 
whiskeys in used sherry casks, which gives it a distinctive flavor. 
Not aggressively like sherry, just different from the stuff they age 
in plain oak barrels, say.

I prefer my MacAllan in a glass, thank you, with seltzer on the side.
