An independently bottled Aberlour single malt, matured in a single refill barrel from May 2008 to November 2015. It comes presented as part of Douglas Laing's Provenance series, which received a handsome redesign in early 2016. While you may know Aberlour as being heavily Sherried (particularly if you're a fan of their a'Bunadh series), this shows off their more creamy, barley-rich side.
Toffee pennies, white grape and warm sponge cake.
More sponge cake, now with some zesty marmalade filling.
Prickly spice and mellow fruit.
I am so blown away by the mellow but full flavour. They took it out of the cask at the perfect moment although only 7 years old and very light the flavour is smooth and sweet but still manages to have a full deep flavour. This one is a missed gem. Buy one if you can find it.
