Darkness! Aberlour 20 Year Old Oloroso Cask Finish 50cl Whisky
Darkness! Aberlour 20 Year Old Oloroso Cask Finish
Embrace the Darkness! Embrace it, let it into your heart! Or should that be, let it into your glass? You should definitely do both, as this 20 year old Aberlour deserves your love and attention. It was finished for 3 months in little 50 litre casks that previously held Oloroso Sherry. The small size of the cask allows for more interaction between the whisky and the wood, giving it an in-your-face profile of Sherry notes and a deep, dark hue.
"Rich fruitcake but with demonic amounts of extra spice; quite brilliant! In true and very old Aberlour style..."
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Juicy raisins and dark spices, red apple, brandy butter and hints of apple pie with dark chocolate shavings sprinkled on top.
Palate
Dried fruit and oak with bitter marmalade and milk chocolate late palate.
Finish
Drying with more oak and fruit, touches of honey and also some cigar box that's perhaps been lurking in the background throughout coming to the fore.
Overall
Another excellent example of how the 3 months in smaller casks can both add to and concentrate notes already found within the whisky with an intense and delicious result.
