Well last night it was time to taste Aberlour. I am going to put the tasting notes of their web site which are in bold and I have put my comments below that.
Tasting Notes
A classic Speyside single malt, matured in a combination of bourbon and sherry casks. Welcoming, vibrant and rewarding.
Overall it was an above average scotch but not the greatest I have tasted.
Nose
The dry, fresh, fruity aromas of early autumn apples and pears are subtly enhanced with sweet notes of vanilla and mint toffee.
Newell: Really no smell at all.
Taste
Exceptionally smooth and creamy, with spicy-sweet nutmeg and honey combining with the dewy freshness of autumn fruits.
Newell: I thought there was caramel and some sweet port?
Finish
Long, soft and warming.
Newell: Yep, agree
It would really depend on the price for me to buy this again.Its not fantastic but I will definitely enjoy finishing the bottle.
Update:
Its now $45 in Australia – buy it!
