A 14 year old single malt from the awesome Aberlour Distillery up in Scotland's prolific Speyside region. This expression has enjoyed its maturation in a combination of Oloroso sherry casks and first-fill American oak casks. Dig in to all those fruity, spicy sherried notes that you're familiar with from Aberlour, paired with decadent helpings of rich, creamy vanilla. Highly ideal for somewhat chilly evenings, this one.
Big aromatics on this one with cloves, cardamom and camphor, and then comes a wave of sweeter notes like toffee, milk chocolate and orange rind.
Full texture, round and creamy, with sweet dark cherries, fudge, and mocha coffee with a refreshing minty breeze.
Quite long with lingering honey and wood spice.
Nice easy drinking Speyside. My palette isn’t probably as tuned into the tasting notes as some but I know what I like and Aberlour is a great whisky.
Everyone has a favourite. Aberlour is one of mine.
