Aberlour Double Cask Matured 14 Year Old Whisky is a Speyside single malt that spends its life maturing in two cask types—ex-bourbon and ex-Oloroso sherry—for a balanced, richly layered profile. Expect fruity sweetness, creamy vanilla, and subtle oak with a touch of sherry influence, resulting in a smooth, approachable dram that remains nuanced.
Tasting Notes
- Nose: Orange zest, toffee, vanilla, dried fruit (raisins, apricots), almond, and a hint of oak spice.
- Palate: Creamy caramel and toffee, orange marmalade, dried fruit, dark chocolate, and cinnamon-nutmeg spice; balanced sherry sweetness with vanilla from bourbon.
- Finish: Long, warm, and slightly resinous; orange zest, cocoa, and spice linger with a gentle oak and sherry fade.
