Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep burnished amber with mahogany depths and coppery ruby glints; a tawny, sherry-warmed glow.
Nose
Opulent sherry-soaked aroma, rich with dark fruit compote—figs, raisins, and dates—intertwined with orange zest, toffee, and cocoa. Subtle almond notes, polished oak, and warming spices (cinnamon, clove) drift through, delivering a velvet, wine-laden bouquet with a glossy, generous finish.
Palate
Velvety and opulent, this Aberlour coats the palate with rich, raisiny sherry, plush dark chocolate and orange zest. Notes of stewed plum and fig mingle with baking spices—cinnamon, clove, nutmeg—while toasted oak lends warm structure. Full-bodied and lingering, it delivers creamy sweetness and a balanced, spicy finish.
Finish
Long, richly sherried finish with dark fruit, fig and raisin, orange zest and cocoa. Velvet oak and warm spices unfold, leaving a lingering sweetness and a cinnamon-kissed warmth that slowly fades into refined heat.
