Aberlour 16YR

Following distillation, Aberlour 16 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky is matured in a combination of American oak casks that were previously used to mature bourbon and European oak casks that were previously used to mature Oloroso sherry. Oloroso sherry is a dark and nutty type of fortified wine, and the used Oloroso casks impart subtle yet sweet notes of dried fruits, caramel, plums and cherries to the whisky, and contribute an incredible layer of complexity.

Aberlour 16 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky has a rich aroma of raisins, prunes and figs. The aroma gives way to notes of toasted almonds, red fruits (particularly plums) and baking spices on the palate. The finish is warm and spicy, with touches of honeyed oak, ginger and citrus lingering.
