is single barrel cask strength whiskey any good or is it too much 120proof?

I really enjoyed a Makers Cask strength. I have been looking for another bottle ever since.

Old Granddad 114 is drinkable. Sort of. Harsh on the way down for sure.

Canadian whiskey should not be allowed across the border. I know the OP didn't say American but he probably meant to.

I like it a lot. Lets me decide how much water I want in it. There are a few I'll drink undiluted, but most improve with a little water added.

Booker’s runs 121-130 proof. Each batch is different. I’ve only had one that I didn’t like and that batch has been gone for years. Unfiltered, uncut. You get what you get.

My favorite is Stagg Jr at 126-132 proof. That stuff will sneak up on you. 1792 Full Proof is very good. I need to try the Makers Mark Cask Strength.

Depends on the person drinking it. I prefer them over 100 proof. Seems 115-130 is about right to me. I’ve had some in the 140 range and they were good too

Depends on the whiskey. I am currently loving the current batch (B520) of Elijah Craig Barrel Proof. A little lower proof than normal, but still weighing in at 127.2 proof. Also digging my Blanton's Straight From the Barrel. This one is weighing in at 135.2 proof, but you would never know it as it drinks below its weight.
I have never been impressed by any other Texas bourbons that are cask strength. They are young and drink hot!
