No whisky was chillfiltered in the making of this Aberlour, keeping all the flavour from the cask in the whisky, not the filter. It is a 12 year old expression of Highland single malt Scotch whisky with an absolutely gorgeous amber hue, radiant like the sun.
Rich fig, raisin and caramel. Soft, warm apples and a very light sprinkle of dark chocolate flakes.
Nutty, fruit and warming. More caramel, cinnamon, nutmeg and plenty of entertaining fruit notes.
Dark chocolate returns for the long finish.
Great whisky for a cold evening.
This was really good, actualy a bit above expectations.
Highly recommended. I haven't been disappointed with an Aberlour yet!
Tasty sherry
After having a pour of this after Macallan and Glenlivet 12, it tasted like ethanol and burned the throat on the way down. No reason to give this another try.
Gorgeous on the nose, with loads of sherry influence if nosed without adding water, really soft as well. After adding water the fruits are coming up a lot more, with mainly raisins and a mixture of warm and fresh apple. On the palate there is a really sweet arrival, a bit spicy and a long slightly bitter finish, wonderful dram!
