"Dry sherry and make no mistake. Silky, juicy delivery; cramped slightly by a background bitterness; spices take their time but arrive eventually. Doubly dry finale thanks to both big oak and the sherry influence. Could do with some very delicate extra balancing sweetness to take it to the next level. Sophisticated nonetheless." -Jim Murray, "Whisky Bible" 88 points
The Aberlour Distillery is at the heart of Speyside, the country's premier whisky-making region. Situated at the junction of the Lour and Spey Rivers, the distillery has a never-ending source of pure spring water which they utilize to create their spirits. This element, combined with hand-selected sherry casks, results in a balanced, complex spirit with a distinct flavor profile.
This expression of Aberlour 12 Year Old has been bottled omitting modern chill-filtering, allowing the whisky to retain the full flavor of the malt. A rich, fruit-forward nose of strawberry, plum, vanilla, oak and baking spice leads to a rich, full-bodied palate with bright sherry notes balanced by chocolate, toffee, cinnamon and raisin. The finish is long and slightly spicy with hints of sweetness.
