Aberlour is a classic speysider, known for a caramelized apple flavor and a easy drinkable spirit. This is a new 14 year old, double cask matured expression, in european sherry oak and american oak barrels. Bottled at 40%abv, tawny color. On the nose, a nice, fruity personality. Red apples, Pepper and Pear. Very fruity; Some dim citrus like grapefruit. A super pear aroma, so clean and accurate. After a first sip, a fancy home made toffee appeared with Some creamy vanilla rising. On the palate it is very easy to drink, yoi can hold it for hours. Red apples and Clove. Incredibly smooth, a second sip gave me vanilla, mashed apples and Toffee. Aftertaste is very balanced, making this dram a very coherent spirit. Dry grass, hay, Tobacco and Clove. Very brown-grassy in most of the notes here. Overall, this is a very round whisky. It is nothing too special in any of its parts, but not bad at all. It is very enjoyable and perfectly balanced. It is a perfect everyday whisky. My score for it is a solid 80 over 100, scoring 20 points in each criteria.
