While it's easy to think given their ubiquity now that bourbon casks were always the rule for Scotch single malt you'd be wrong. Back before 1986 Sherry was shipped to the UK in barrels which were then sold on to whisky distilleries for maturation. Bourbon barrels only became the rule after 1986 when new legislation required that all Sherry be bottled in the Jerez region.
Thus Glenfarclas 15 is a great example of a traditional Scotch whisky in that it's sherry matured rather than bourbon matured, the result is a very flavourful and enjoyable whisky that drips red fruits, candied nuts, campfire marshmallows, green grapes, cloves, and spicy wood accents. This is one of if not the best example of a sherried whisky on a reasonable budget.
