Set out to find a new whisky with wich to enjoy, I came across Aberlour. This Highland Scotch whiskey is "Double Cask Matured" which according to the distillery means, the whiskey matured in two cask types. Traditional oak and Sherry oak casks are selected and after 12 years of rest the two casks are married together.
This whisky is a particularly dark amber color for only being 12 years old. The nose is sweet and fruity with a distinctive sherry aroma. The whisky is smooth and smokey with some sweetness and spice present. The finish is pleasant but could be more smooth. All around this was a great find at about $43 for 750ml.
