Aberlour Bartels Single Cask #15050 Whisky 15 Year Old · 2000 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber-gold with coppery highlights and a warm mahogany edge.

Nose

Indulgent sherry sweetness fills the aroma, with dark raisins and fig mingling with orange zest, treacle and toasted almond. Spices—clove and cinnamon—join vanilla, rich toffee and honey, while polished oak and a whisper of cocoa lend a velvety, luxurious finish.

Palate

Velvety and opulent, it coats the palate with rich sherry sweetness—dark chocolate, fig and prune, orange zest and toasted almond. Caramel, vanilla and spices mingle with elegant oak, delivering a long, luxurious finish with coffee-kissed depth and ripe fruit nuance.

Finish

An opulent, long finish coats the palate in warm sherry sweetness with bright citrus zest. Dried fig and cocoa mingle with cinnamon-spice, while polished oak cushions the mouth, leaving a velvet trail of vanilla and almond as the warmth slowly fades.
