Not cask strength. :-) It was ordinary single-malt whisky, but non-chill-filtered. In chill filtering the distiller, well, chills the whisky and runs it through a second filtering; this removes lipids that will precipitate and "cloud" the whisky if it's iced, but which also contribute several layers of flavor and texture.
