macallan has fine oak, what are some other regular barrel non-peaty ?
GlenDronach 15 and Glenfarclas 15 (or 17) are some of the best non-peated sherry bombs, if that's what you're after. Possibly the best standard expressions of their kind on the market.
ETA: The Glenfarclas 40 is an older expression that is outstanding. Usually 40 year old whisky is grossly over rated, and not worth your time or money. This is worth seeking out.
