Aberlour Single Cask #101278 Whisky 18 Year Old · 1991 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with copper-gold highlights and a touch of mahogany, a warm, luxurious glow hinting at sherry-matured depth.

Nose

Opulent sherry-soaked nose: sun-dried raisin and fig, glossy toffee and orange zest, with dark chocolate shavings. Hints of toasted almond, vanilla pod, and a gentle cinnamon oak spice give a polished, inviting warmth.

Palate

Opulently sherried, this Aberlour coats the palate with syrupy fig and raisin, brightened by orange peel and toffee. Dark chocolate depth mingles with toasted almond, while cinnamon, nutmeg and a whisper of clove drift through. A refined oak backbone supports a silky, full-bodied feel, finishing long with fruit, spice and coffee-kissed notes.

Finish

Expansive and sherried, the finish lingers with dark fruit, raisin and fig, cloaked in cocoa and toffee. Spiced orange peel and cinnamon thread through velvety oak, delivering a long, warming fade that remains refined yet generously sweet, like a Christmas cake resting in polished wood.
