Aberlour 12 Year Sherry Cask Matured

Red fruits on the nose. Caramelized cherries on the tongue mellows to molasses. Slight bitter finish but not in a bad way.

NOSE Buttery cinnamon toast, concentrated raisin in the background, astringent woody touches, glacé cherry, barrel char. PALATE Big sweet butter hit, with maple syrup, brown sugar, plump raisins, nutmeg, milk chocolate and more of the char from the nose. FINISH Medium length, with chocolate, raisins and more char. COMMENT A sweet dram with good levels of sherry spice and richness, although not overly heavy. There is a touch of welcome bitter char that reigns the dram in before it can become too sweet, providing excellent balance.

Quite a sweet one but an absolute corker.

Starts with hints of burnt French toast finishes with notes of vanilla ice cream on fire
