What it’s like

Aberlour’s sixteen-year-old follows the house recipe: part of the whisky matures in American oak casks and part in oloroso sherry casks, and then they are brought together. With age, dried fruit and chocolate gain weight over vanilla. It is a rich, silky malt without smoke, a highly recommendable step up for those who enjoy the twelve-year-old.

Nose
Plum, raisins, toffee and vanilla, with cinnamon and some orange.
Palate
Silky. Dried fruit, milk chocolate, honey and sweet spice.
Finish
Long, with spice, dried fruit, soft oak and some cocoa.
