The 12 year-old expression is a fine example of how the distinctively crisp, citrus character of Aberlour’s new distillate is deftly softened by double cask maturation.
Traditional Oak and seasoned Sherry butts are both used to great effect, as the mellowed spirits within are combined to deliver a subtly balanced flavour.
Significantly influenced by sherry cask maturation, non chill-filtered and produced in small batches.
With its balanced profile, this 12 Year Old is a great choice for those venturing into the world of Speyside whiskies.
Nose: Soft and rounded, with fruity notes of red apple.
Palate: A fine sherried character, balanced with rich chocolate, toffee, cinnamon and ginger spiciness.
Finish: Warming and lingering – sweet and slightly spicy.

Voluptuous and mouth-watering in some areas, firmer and less expansive in others. Pretty tasty in all of them. 43%
