Aberlour Spirit Of The Festival 2010 Whisky 15 Year Old · 1995 Vintage

Colour

Deep, sun-kissed amber with copper-gold highlights and a touch of mahogany.

Nose

Opulent sherry aroma of dark fruits—raisins, fig and prune—tinted by orange zest and dried apricot. Rich toffee and cocoa drift in, with almond paste and vanilla, while spice notes of cinnamon and clove shimmer against polished oak. A velvet, lingering sweetness hints at a festive cask.

Palate

Silky and indulgent, the palate is sherry-softened and richly fruity: sun-dried figs, raisins, orange zest, and burnt sugar. Dark chocolate, toasted almond, and cinnamon weave with polished oak, delivering a velvety mouthfeel and a warm, lingering finish.

Finish

Long, luxurious finish lingering with dark fruit, raisin and fig, intertwined with cocoa and spice. Sherried sweetness softens to velvety oak, a bright whisper of orange zest, and a final, warm glow that slowly fades.
