Day 20 is a HUGE GIFT! My fav distillery, Aberlour, and one of my fav whiskies, the A'Bunadh. The story is great (more later), but the reason it's a fav is that it is aged entirely in Oloroso sherry butts and it is bottled at cask strength. No batch is identical but they all are likely to be great.

Day 19 is another one of my fav bottlers, Douglas Laing’s Old Particular single casks. This one is a Speyside 14yo, I believe finished in Oloroso butts.
