Aberlour 16 Year Old Single Highland Malt Whisky Double Cask Matured

This 16 year old Aberlour has been matured in two cask types, traditional oak casks and the finest of sherry casks. Color: Rich golden amber. Nose: Rich, dry scented floral and sweet raisin aromas with a spicy nuttiness. Palate: Smooth, full, sweet floral and spicy flavors with a soft plum fruitiness and gentle oakiness. Finish: Long, warm spicy fruitiness.

90-95 points Superb/Highly Recommended Wine Enthusiast: “The bouquet is austere and leathery with curious aromas of beeswax, vegetable oil and oaky resin. Palate entry is focused on the resin; midpalate is splendidly multilayered and offers elements of black pepper, dried orange blossom, honeysuckle, dried fruit, sage, fennel and confections. Aftertaste is deep and unabashedly sweet and honeyed. (12/15/09)”

Michael Jackson (Malt Whisky Companion): “Lovers of the richer style of Speyside malt rightly regard Aberlour as being in the top echelon.”
