Aberlour Single Cask Selection #13330 Whisky 13 Year Old · 1989 Vintage
Out of stock
I almost listed this as a 14 year old because despite the label proclaiming 13 years it also states that this 1st fill Sherry cask was distilled in November 1989 and bottled in April 2004 which in my books makes this a 14 year old.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep mahogany with amber-copper highlights.
Nose
Opulent first-fill sherry on the nose: dark plum and raisin mingle with fig, orange peel and toffee. Rich cocoa and almond praline emerge, brushed with cinnamon and clove. Underneath, polished oak adds a warm, mature sweetness—like fruitcake with a whisper of tobacco.
Palate
Sumptuous, full-bodied palate greets with velvety sherry sweetness—dark figs, raisins and prunes, edged by dark chocolate and espresso. Cinnamon and clove spice threads through, while orange zest adds a bright lift. Rich oak and a touch of toffee entwine, leading to a long, warming finish with silky warmth and subtle nuttiness.
Finish
Long, warm finish with sherry sweetness lingering over dark fruit, fig and prune. Orange zest, cinnamon and clove mingle with toasted oak, fading into a silky espresso and dark chocolate finale.
