Notes | |||
"Aberlour 16-year-old is matured in a combination of ex-bourbon casks and the finest ex-sherry butts. This maturation ensures the depth of character as well as the distinctive fruitiness and spiciness of Aberlour. Rich golden amber colour. Rich, dry scented floral and sweet raisin aromas with spicy nuttiness. Smooth and full on the palate, sweet floral and spicy flavours with a soft plum fruitiness and gentle oakiness. Long, warm, spicy fruitiness on the finish." —producer |
Critical Acclaim | |||
"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." —P. P., Wine Enthusiast Magazine "A captivating nose of roasted almond, orange zest, honeysuckle, fresh cinnamon, vanilla and toasted oats. The aromas of the nose translate well into a rich mouthfeel and lush flavors of honey, toasted oats, sweet spice and baked apricot while maintaining strong vanilla and orange zest notes. The finish is intense and sweet. Excellent, Highly Recommended." —Ultimate Spirits Challenge 2013 (94 points) Double Gold, San Francisco World Spirits Competition (2007, 2011) |
