Brand: Aberlour
Profile: Creamy with sweet raisin aromas and a spicy nuttiness and smooth, full, sweet floral and spicy flavours with a soft plum fruitiness and gentle oakiness Expression's warm fruity notes are enriched by an engagingly spicy sweetness 2015 Silver Outstanding Medal Winner - International Wine and Spirits Competition IWSC Awards Tasting Note: Nose has a delightful butterscotch beginning before rich malt come into play and followed by ripe pear, apple and orangeSome honey and sherry come to the fore, dignified entry into the mouth with fine texture and good balance. Butterscotch comes back into focus while some fine oak shows itself Tasting Notes:Nose: The quality of the sherry butts used is as good as you'll find today with their clean, almost inspirational gently spiced clarity offering sufficient permeability to allow both barley and oak to breat and prosper.Palate: Mouth-cleansing delivery with the clean sauternes-esque grape polishing every tastebud; the decent weight is just about perfect for its style; again the spices are no more than a distant rumble and the barley breaks out for the relaxed stroll.Finish: Remains delicate for all the weight; the mild treacle and waxed honey finale satisfies.(Tasting Notes by Jim Murray, Whisky Bible 2011.)
