Aberlour Double Sherry Cask Batch #005 Single Malt Scotch Whisky 18 Year Old

Colour

Deep amber with luminous copper-gold highlights and mahogany edges.

Nose

Aromas of dried fruit—raisin, fig and prune—rise with orange zest and a hint of espresso. Rich PX and Oloroso sherry weave in toffee, caramel and almond, underpinned by polished oak spice. Complex, luxurious and inviting, it promises a long, velvety sweetness on the palate.

Palate

Velvet-soft on the palate, this 18-year-old unfolds a layered sherry sweetness: raisins, fig, date and dark plum drive rich fruit, while cocoa, toffee and toasted almond add depth. Subtle orange peel, cinnamon and vanilla weave through a silky, full-bodied texture, balanced by oaky maturity. A long, warm finish lingers with chocolatey sweetness and polished nuttiness.

Finish

An enduring, velvet finish of rich sherry sweetness, with dark fig and raisin, orange zest and a hint of cocoa. The PX and Oloroso influence lingers as toffee, toasted almond and warm spice drift into a long, polished glow.
