Aberlour 10 Year Old 2008 (cask 13174) - Old Particular (Douglas Laing)
A wonderful Speyside single malt, distilled at Aberlour in December 2008. It spent the following decade in a single refill hogshead, until in April 2019 Douglas Laing bottled the whisky for the Old Particular series. The hogshead yielded 476 bottles at 48.4% ABV, full of hallmark Speyside notes. As always with Old Particular bottlings, there's no colouring or chillfiltration to be seen here.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Loads of juicy white stone fruit, along with bucketfuls of sweet malt and a touch of toffee.
Palate
More powerful than the nose would suggest, with loads of baking spice, more malt, caramelised nuts, apricot jam, mint leaves and brown sugar.
Finish
Honey sponge cake, toasty malt, a prickle of oak spice and barley sugar.
