Aberlour Sherry Cask 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky (1000ml)

Aberlour's house style is typically rich, generous and extremely accessible. These flavours are usually achieved with very low degrees of peating being employed (if any at all). Maturation takes place in top quality ex-sherry casks, in this case, exclusively Oloroso Sherry casks.

Tasting note: Polished brass / copper colour. Not exactly an extroverted nose, but not shy either, with definite sherry input infusing light citrus peel, fruit cake, walnut slice and hints of cocoa to the aroma. Middle weighted, this glides easily over the tongue with medium dry flavours of ginger bread and light fruit cake supported by a spicy, slightly citrusy / acidic backbone. Finishes relaxed, fresh and nutty with the sweetness restrained. The trace of sulphur is mild enough to ignore. A nicely balanced sherried edition that treads on the drier side. 40% Alc./Vol.
