“Took a bit of a punt buying this as there were no reviews, and wow, did i get lucky :) I finished the bottle in a couple of weeks (which is almost unheard of for me). I'd compare it to the Balvenie Doublewood 17 year old... which is still my favorite... but i'm buying another bottle of this one now”

Soft and rounded with fruity notes of red apple.

Warm and lingering. Sweet and spicy.

I like it

Excellent nose. Marzipan rise. Banana finish.

The whisky that always makes me think... Why buy more expensive?

Look, I'm a whisky drinker. Not a whisky taster. OK? Expensive malts are interesting, talking waffle about how you are getting 'toasted cinnamon waffles on the nose' is fun. But I'll level with you; every time I open a bottle of Aberlour 12 and, without guilt, pour out a large glass, it makes me wonder why I ever bother with anything more expensive? This is the sweet spot for an affordable malt with bags of flavour that I can happily drink all night. It's a delicious sherry cask.

Works well together with chili nuts

Yes, there are plenty of more expensive single malts that bring more depth and complexity to the table. Despite that, Aberlour 12 year old double cask matured makes a skilfully crafted product. Very easy and smooth due to its inherent Speyside sweetness and 40 vol-% strength. I enjoy this very much lean together with some chili nuts as they add character and edge to the overall experience.

Not my thing

Disappointing. Maybe I don't like sherry cask scotch. It does have a malty taste but not much of a finish. I wasn't getting all those flavours I hear others mention. Even though it is "just" 40% it still was a bit hot. I really wanted to like this.
