Mellowed for 12 years in handmade oak casks, this smooth, sweet dram offers rich rewards for those who like to dig deeper.
Over the 21 Years that this Aberfeldy single malt has been lying in cask, it has grown ever more mellow, rich, fruity and honeyed. This has not gone unnoticed by the Angels, who have by now helped themselves to about half of what was originally in each cask.
What The WSD thinks: Cottage garden spring flowers becoming more intense all the time. Tropical fruit essence on the palate with lashes of grapefruit, mango and banana. The Aberlour 10 is matured in a combination of ex-bourbon casks and ex-sherry butts for a minimum of 10 years. One of the best of any distilleries entry-level single malt.
The Aberlour 12 is sold on a limited basis in the UK and France. It is a combination of whisky from American Oak and ex-Sherry casks.
Aberlour 16 is from American Oak and ex-Sherry casks.
WSD's Comment: Initial heady dark chocolate and fruit compote. Rum and raisin. Floral perfumed notes back by toffee. The sherry notes are pronounced in this expression give lots of notes of jam and fruit cake.
Only the very best casks have been selected to ensure a single malt of unsurpassed richness and embody the ultimate expression of Aberlour.
A unique Ayrshire single malt whisky distilled for precise balance of smoke and sweetness.
