Aberlour Scotch Single Malt 12 Year Double Cask 750 ML

Rich with Citrus Character 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. Color - Golden amber with hints of ruby Nose - Soft and rounded with fruity notes of red apple Palate - A fine Sherried character, fruity aromas balanced with rich chocolate Finish - Warm and lingering. Sweet and spicy The Aberlour Distillery, estd 1879, lies in the village of aberlour in the heart of Speyside, the country’s premier whisky-making region which is renowned for producing whiskies of subtle depth and elegance. Aberlour is an historical place and its story stretches back over a thousand years. In the ancient past, a druid community lived in the valley. The druids valued oak trees and water and believed you could hear the water spirits talking to each other. Aberlour is a Gaelic word meaning ‘mouth of the chattering burn’ (stream). Water and an oak tree still feature today on the Aberlour label. Wine Enthusiast 94 points - Amber in the glass, this Scotch has a rich butterscotch aroma, with touches of fresh apple and tropical fruit. Look for dried fruit and Sherry upfront on the palate, with additional notes of vanilla and oak that hang on through the exceedingly long and rounded finish. Though it’s mouthcoating and oily, it’s also roughed up a bit by the high proof, giving it a drying edge on the close..Kara Newman, December/2015 Ultimate Beverage Challenge 91 points - The nose is fruity, with cherries and berry flavored cereal bars. Fluffy in the mouth the smooth texture juxtaposes deep spice, toasted wood and roasted coffee bean flavor. Notes of sweet grain and fresh fruit linger in the background..March/2017 As with most Aberlour whisky, this 12 Year Old single malt has been matured in two types of cask.
