Aberlour 12 YO Double Cask Matured Whiskey

Worth knowing

Battered by several strokes of fate in the form of devastating brandies, the Aberlour distillery nevertheless managed to establish itself as one of the big house numbers in Speyside. The 12-year-old, matured in two different casks, is the classic in their range.

Aroma

Already in the nose, this fine drop proves to be a prototypical representative of its home region. Fragrant, flowery apple notes and a soft sherry scent immediately indicate its gentle, playful character. Of course, this also remains present in the taste - but the whisky can do much more, as velvety cocoa tones next to charming toffee sweetness prove. To compensate, fine, sweetish spice stimulates the palate - cinnamon, but also the pleasant, ethereal spiciness of ginger. In the finish, the sweet facets dominate again, the spice is still subtly in the background.
