Aberlour 18 Year Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Aberlour 18 Year Old Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a radiant celebration of Speyside craftsmanship, matured in both Oloroso sherry and American oak casks to create a symphony of rich, indulgent flavours. With its auburn gold hue, this whisky greets the senses with a bouquet of ripe peach, toffee, and bitter orange. On the palate, it unfolds layers of soft apricot, blackcurrant jam, and sweet oak, all harmoniously balanced with a touch of honey. The experience culminates in a long, elegant finish that transitions from crème brûlée to a gentle oak flourish, leaving a lasting impression of warmth and sophistication .

"This honeyed single malt proudly wears its sherry influence on its sleeve, bursting with orange peel, Chinese five-spice, and unsmoked tobacco. Though rich, its balanced texture and understated, detailed flavors give this a distinctly aristocratic bearing." 97 Points, 2016 Ultimate Spirits Challenge

Greater age adds body and a rich raisin character to Aberlour’s characteristic depth and spiciness. Matured in the highest quality casks, where it develops deep Bourbon and Oloroso Sherry flavours, this is the richest and most indulgent Aberlour expression. Perfect in structure and memorably eloquent.

The nose is rich and complex, with notes of toffee and butterscotch combining with ripe peach and bitter orange. The palate, superbly structured, with initial notes of soft apricot and cream, offset by developing flavours of old leather and oak, with a touch of honey. All this is followed by a finish that is very long and well balanced, progressing from crème brulée to a gentle oak flourish.
