Nose | Sweet and full. Sherried raisins, hints of toffee and a pleasant nuttiness. |
Palate | Quite full-bodied, spicy rich fruitcake, toffee notes and a creamy malty-feel. |
Finish | Caramel and honey, the malt still evident and the sweet spices still linger. |
Aberlour 10 Year Old has a pleasing and inviting sherried character, with sweet notes of rich chocolate, toffee, cinnamon being complemented by a warm ginger spiciness. The mellowed spirits produced through the maturation process in traditional oak and seasoned sherry butts deliver a subtly balanced and intriguingly complex flavour.
