General description

nice, rich, well balanced, elegant malt, very easy accessible and enjoyable for an 18YO

Nose

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

Palate

very gentle, oak rises, chocolate flavours with some raisins, cherries and berries; vanilla and caramel - reminiscent of malaga ice cream

Finish

almond marzipan, milk chocolate, spice an oak aromas; some berries later on

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.

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.
