Aberlour 16-Year-Old Double Cask Matured Oak and Sherry Oak Casks is a remarkable single malt Scotch whisky hailing from the renowned Speyside region. The Aberlour Distillery, nestled on the banks of the small Lou River, draws its water from an underground spring. This pristine water source, combined with the region's peaty soil and locally sourced barley, plays a pivotal role in crafting Aberlour's exquisite whiskies. Matured for 16 years in a combination of Bourbon and Sherry casks, this expression beautifully showcases the harmonious interplay of these two distinct wood types.
The whisky exhibits a rich dark amber hue, indicative of its prolonged maturation. On the nose, it offers a delightful bouquet of sweet apples, dried fruits, oak, and spices, complemented by hints of vanilla, nuts, red currant, and raisin. The palate is equally inviting, presenting a balanced blend of sweet apple sourness, dried fruits, pepper, oak, black tea, and herbal notes. The finish is long and satisfying, leaving lingering traces of spices, vanilla, pepper, apples, and dried fruits. Aberlour 16YO is an elegantly balanced and smooth whisky, making it an excellent choice for both daily enjoyment and special occasions. It's a fruity-spicy-elegant "dessert whisky" that's both inviting and complex. While its 40% ABV might come across as cautious in releasing its full range of aromas, the whisky's nuanced character and delightful flavors make it a solid dram for sherried whisky enthusiasts.
