A decent Aberlour that is easy to drink.
Nose is pretty sweet with vanilla and the sherry influence is allso noticable, but not in a dominant way.
Taste continues in the same footmarks with nose. Sweet dram with vanilla, sweet fruits, maybe hint of choclate even. Not very complex thou and the taste is pretty short. Could benefit from a little higher abv. I don’t mean as much as the A’bunadhs have, but maybe something between 46% to 50%.
43 138 если перевести на 700 ml. Свежий запах какой то зелени, типа зеленого банана, немного апельсина. В послевкусии привкус свежей резины.
I just met the older sister of the the 16, and she stole my heart. More mature, better developed, more interesting, more worldly and polished than the 16.
All the notes of the 12 and 16 are there, sweet and fruity with apples, oranges, raisins, chocolate, vanilla and caramel, just intensified, plus a little added spice. Medium length warming finish extends a little longer.
Sweet and fruity, well rounded.
Heerlijke soepele whisky. zoete kruidige en fruitige smaak. soepele afdronk

Soepel
nice, rich, well balanced, elegant malt, very easy accessible and enjoyable for an 18YO
dark, sherry, oak, yet very sweet, berry fruit like red currant, blackberries, raisins; herbs, cardamom, chocolate; getting sweeter and sweeter and even a little bit floral with some time
very gentle, oak rises, chocolate flavours with some raisins, cherries and berries; vanilla and caramel - reminiscent of malaga ice cream
almond marzipan, milk chocolate, spice an oak aromas; some berries later on
nice and smooth good flavour not long finish

smooth some fruits oak spice alcohol nicely hidden

Nose: Toffee, vanilla, orange, soft.
Mouth: Candied orange, spice, vanilla, oak.
Finish: Short, slightly spicy.
Well balanced dram. Nothing remarkable just solid.
very smooth, warming, and no burn
very rich and fruity with some spice on the palate.
In der Nase vordergründig Bourbon typische Aromen von Karamell und Vanille. Dahinter fruchtige Sherry Noten und Orange.
Im Mund leicht scharf und fruchtig süß. Im kräftigen Abgang sofort Sherry, dann Schokolade und Eiche.

testé chez l'ami yohann
Sweet, smooth, silky, refined stewed strawberries. But without a much needed malty kick
This 43% Speysider Aberlour 18 is filtered and received additional colouring. It comes in a beautiful sealed bottle, after pouring it leaves nice legs.
Maturation was a combination of Oloroso and bourbon cask.
Bourbon rules first nosing and alcohol is nicely hidden with caramel and toffee growing. Wood and sherry are present, but a bit overshadowed by the bourbon.
Nice sweet complex and aromatic.
The mouthwatering taste gives a very nice combination of buttery apple, honeyed oak and cinnamon sherry.
Again some beautiful combinations at the long warming finish. Choco/coffee, vanilla/honey and sherry/wood.
I would call this one a balanced top dram. It's heavy full and complex yet mild and soft at spices.
A very nice 18Y from Aberlour.
92 points.
Very advisable.

Sweet, heavy notes of maple syrup, a slight astringent taste, weak nose, overall a fantastic sipper.
sweetness and a wide taste to it.
