Aberlour 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky with Giftbox, 70cl

Product Information

While you might be expecting a deeper oak hint, you don’t get that. In fact, you get just an indication of the oak and plenty of cinnamon spice and vanilla. The price point works well, making it a whiskey that could be a regular favorite but might not be the place’s pride.

When the seasoning is finished, the wine is taken out and often re-used. After a few seasoning runs it will be discarded. The wine can’t legally be sold as sherry and it’s not suited for consumption anyway. Usually it will be distilled into sherry brandy or used to produce sherry vinegar. Unsurprisingly perhaps, one of the largest producers of sherry casks (Páez Lobato) is also the largest producer of sherry vinegar (Páez Morilla).” This is one of those bottles that I always have to keep in my shoulder. Every friend who has not dealt with whisky tastes good, I call it liquid apple pie :) The Speyside region of Scotland produces some of the best and most well known single malt scotch whiskies, and Aberlour is right in line with them. The balance of complexity, smoothness, and its flavors is what makes a bottle so great.

It works only in coordination with the primary cookie. Whisky is an industrial-process created product, and that includes the cask supply-chain, which has been pretty much entirely synthetic for nearly 40 years. Put aside the marketing and notions of spunky quaint Scotsmen thriftily reusing old casks, and understand that sherry casks, and the sherry used to season them, are a manufactured components (of varying quality, depending on intended use for given end-product price-points), used in the production of products sold in a multi-billion dollar industry. This is why sherry casks are vastly more expensive: they aren’t a byproduct of any other production process (e.g. ex-bourbon cask), as they once were, prior to 1981. Ten full years ago, I reviewed Aberlour 10-year on this blog, as one of my first posts. Amazing how time flies. My ‘review’ was about 2 sentences long, the bar that I bought the dram at doesn’t exist any more, and Aberlour 10 is no longer available in the US (although it is available in the UK). Also, I referred to its color as “orange”. Yikes.

Although some people haven’t been wowed by the Aberlour 12-year-old whisky, the aroma is a wow moment, the layers of fruit with a hint of oak is delicious.

For the finish, while it is described as a long finish, it’s medium short. The finish gets a little lost; the fruit you had been enjoying up until this point becomes a little bit muddy and overtaken but the spicy oak. Even though the oak is faint, it seems to blur the clean fruity notes in the finish. Aberlour opened up the doors to its brand new visitor centre in August of 2002, with tours tailored for whisky aficionados rather than hoards of tourists. Aberlour (pronounced ‘Ab-er-LAU-errr’) sits at the base of the rugged mountain range, Ben Rinnes. Nestled in the village of the same name, the distillery was founded by Peter Weir and James Gordon in 1826, though Peter was to pull out a year later. The village lies on the Lour Burn, which converges with the River Spey just 270 metres from the distillery.

Anything that’s labeled as matured in ex-sherry is either European Oak or American Oak that’s seasoned. Period.
