Honeyed apples, sultanas, toffee, milk chocolate and a soft Oloroso warmth.
Smooth and rounded — orchard fruits, raisins, almond, vanilla custard and a gentle sherry sweetness with oak spice.
Medium length, nutty and softly drying with cinnamon and dark fruit.
The Aberlour 16 is the distillery's most refined regular expression.
Owned by Pernod Ricard via Chivas Brothers, Aberlour sits in the heart of Speyside in the village of the same name. The double-cask maturation philosophy has defined the core range since the 1970s.
Bourbon casks bring vanilla, honey and orchard fruit; the sherry casks layer raisin, nut and spice.
Sophisticated, easy-drinking and quietly excellent.
