Victor - I noticed that you had some Laphroaig 18 in your cabinet. I was similarly dissatisfied with my Laph Triple wood compared to my original restaurant experience. I suspect the same facts may hold here and I will give it a try. This is a rich and refined dram, with a palette that brings together the dryness and spice of a good Sherry with the sweetness and warmth of Bourbon.

Tasting Notes Scottish Blends

Not many years ago, this Aberlour was one of the cheapest 18yo bottlings on the market. Look at it now; well over a ton AND only 50cl! I can only imagine a previously very good whisky has become an astronomically good one.
