Description

Aberlour 18 Year Old is a distinguished Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky, celebrated for its depth of flavor and complexity. It undergoes a double cask maturation process, initially in American oak ex-bourbon casks and then finished in Spanish oak Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez sherry butts. This meticulous aging imparts rich notes of dried fruits, spices, and a luxurious character, making it a sought-after choice among whisky enthusiasts. It was introduced in 2008, having previously been available only for the French market.

The long finish has a nice little turn, moving from crème brûlée sweetness to gentle oak, with dried fruit and spice hanging on. That gradual shift makes this a warm, easy one to appreciate.

Ripe fruit, orange zest and plum jam set a lively, sweet direction, with toffee buns and butterscotch giving it a richer edge. The palate moves from soft apricot and cream into chocolate-coated raisins, liquorice root, blackcurrant jam, old leather, oak and nutmeg, creating a clear shift toward darker notes. The long finish keeps sweetness in view before oak, dried fruit and spice linger. A layered Speyside single malt, though the range of flavors may feel busy for someone who prefers a simpler style.
