Aberlour 18 Years 500ml

A deeper Sherry influence adds extra spiciness and a liquorice flavour to the mature, deep, peppery one. More aging adds body and enhances the characteristic fruitiness of a rich raisin flavour.

On the nose, aromas of toffee and butterscotch mingle with ripe peach and bitter orange. Structure is flawless. Soft apricot and cream notes are contrasted by emerging flavours of blackcurrant jam and sweet oak with a hint of honey. The finish is long and balanced, progressing from crème brulee to a light oak flourish.

Aberlour whiskey is the result of craft, passion, and wisdom passed down through generations. Their tale is one of community, locally sourced ingredients, and the families of artisans who fashioned them into who they are today. Ben Rinnes finely manufactured new spirit is normally matured for a minimum of 12 years in both the finest hand-picked Oloroso sherry butts and American oak barrels, using the best local ingredients of barley and soft water from the surrounding mountains. This double barrel maturation brings the qualities of each cask together gently to create a very rich and rewardingly complex selection of single malts. With its depth of flavour and character, this excellent whisky speaks for itself.
