Tonight I'm drinking the Aberlour 12 Year Double Cask Matured Single Malt Scotch Whisky.  Interestingly, "Double Cask Matured" doesn't have a consistent meaning amongst distillers.  In the case of this Aberlour single malt, it means that two casks, one aged in traditional oak and one aged in sherry, were blended together to make the final product.  Both casks were aged for at least 12 years.  Aberlour has another 12 Year release that is in NCF, but it's a separate product that doesn't use sherry casks as far as I know. I picked this one up at @hitimewine on sale for $29.99 and would call that a pretty solid price for the value here. My detailed thoughts and rating below: ⠀ 🥃 Aberlour 12 Year Double Cask Edition - 40% ABV Nose: First thought was a PB+J on wheat with strawberry jelly.  Other fruity sweet notes emerge as well as some honey sweetness. Really nice nose here, though somewhat mellow. Taste:  Fruity graham crackers.  A bit tart and there is some heat.  It's a very fruity sweet dram.  This whisky was a little harsh when I first opened the bottle and the air and oxidation has helped mellow that out. The texture is somewhat watery, but it does a decent job at coating the tongue.  Flavor-wise, the finish is short with some light sweet fruit jam, citric zest, and some darker sherry notes.  This would really be incredible stuff if it had a higher ABV and was non-chill-filtered. Current rating: 82/100
