Aberlour 12 YR
Distillery: Aberlour Distillery. Ben Rinnes, Scotland Age: 12 YR Proof: 48% Nose: Buttery cinnamon toast, concentrated raisin in the background, astringent woody touches, glacé cherry, barrel char. Palate: Big sweet butter hit, with maple syrup, brown sugar, plump raisins, nutmeg, milk chocolate and more of the char from the nose. Color: Golden Amber Notes: A sweet dram with good levels of sherry spice and richness, although not overly heavy. There is a touch of welcome bitter char that reigns the dram in before it can become too sweet, providing excellent balance. |
