Aberlour Double Cask 12 Years Speyside Single Malt Whisky
$90
$137.7
Aberlour is always a good choice – one of the best value Speyside malts around. This double matured version is a mix of traditional oak and sherry casks and is rich and fruity with delicious Christmas cake notes. TASTING NOTES NOSE Buttery cinnamon toast, concentrated raisin in the background, astringent woody touches, glacé cherry, barrel char. PALATE Big sweet butter hit, with maple syrup, brown sugar, plump raisins, nutmeg, milk chocolate and more of the char from the nose. FINISH Medium length, with chocolate, raisins and more char. COMMENT A sweet dram with good levels of sherry spice and richness, although not overly heavy. There is a touch of welcome bitter char that reigns the dram in before it can become too sweet, providing excellent balance.
