Sweet, smooth, silky, refined stewed strawberries. But without a much needed malty kick

General description

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.
