About this deal

In general I don't know what I think of Aberlour. The 10yo was far too sweet for my liking. A'bunadh is much better but generally I don't go for lighter sweeter style malt. Having said that, I do like variety and experiencing the full range of whiskies available.

Burun : Kuru üzüm, incir, vanilya, karamel, bal ve akçaağaç şurubu gibi tatlı aromalara tarçın, meşe, hafif malt ve bitter kokuları eşlik ediyor. Yumuşak ve dengeli. Taste: Smooth, creamy nuttiness, floral notes are evident, spicy in the way of nutmeg and cinnamon. Sweet red plums and a slight bitter oak exist to round of the initial taste. Complexity is nice. The most complex whisky I've acquired. Aberlour damıtımevinin 16 yıl ilk dolum Amerikan ve ilk dolum şeri fıçılarda olgunlaşmış viskileri evlendirerek (marrying) şişelediği ekspresyonu. Aberlour bu işleme “Double Matured” da demektedir. Finish: Incredible! Booming spice with billowing sherry. A bit of roasted macadamia nut, but just a hint. There is just a bit of dryness coming out at the end, getting your attention and reminding you that you are drinking whisky.

It was a long and fractious courtship, but that feisty lass Aberlour A’bunadh and I eventually found love. Our skirmishes were Shakespearian in magnitude; she was Kate to my Petruchio, only this time the shrew tamed me. Think you a little din can daunt mine ears? Or tastebuds, as the case may be? Aberlour 08-year-old Campbell's Distillery - cubic bottle, screw cap, "over 8 years old", Est. 1845 Without prejudice to the section Liability below, the Service may be temporarily unavailable during maintenance, updates, etc. We shall make reasonable efforts to inform you of any unavailability due to maintenance or updates. The Aberlour 16yr is a 43% ABV whisky double cask matured in both ex-bourbon casks and ex-sherry butts, which gives it the signature "depth of character ... distinctive fruitiness and spiciness" of the distillery. The sherry gives the whisky a deep "rich golden amber" color according to the distillery, giving it a beautiful color in the glass. There are more than 120 distilleries in Scotland making single malt whisky—much of which is ultimately destined to be used as a component in blended whiskies, but some of which is bottled as an individual expression of the particular distillery's character.

Single malt scotch is defined as whisky that is made in Scotland at one distillery from a mash bill of 100 percent malted barley. It must be aged for a minimum of three years in oak barrels. On the palate, lots of cherries, a little nutty, and more vanilla than on the nose. The vanilla becomes more prevalent with a drop of water. Very soft and fruity, but with a fair amount of spice as well. Extremely luxurious. Genel Yorum :Aberlour 16 Double Cask, tatlı aromaların baskın olduğu oldukça kolay içimli ve dengeli bir ekspresyon. Bu yazı ilginizi çektiyse; I got this bottle as a gift from a colleague that came in late the day after a personnel party at which she let her hair down a bit too heavily. It was her way of apologizing and I gladly accepted. In all seriousness, this is double cask matured, what means that the whisky matured for 16 years on bourbon- and sherry casks. The label says traditional oak and sherry oak. After maturation they were brought together in the marrying tun before being bottled at drinking strength.Whiskybase B.V. is the Dutch private limited liability company, having its statutory seat in Rotterdam, The Netherlands and its office at Zwaanshals 530, 3035 KS Rotterdam, The Netherlands.

Double Matured’ın altını biraz daha açmak istiyorum. Çünkü benzer terimleri, farklı fıçılarda bitiş (finish) işlemi yapılan viskiler için de markalar bulunuyor. (Örneğin: Balvenie Doublewood 12) Evlendirme (Marrying): Farklı fıçılarda olgunlaşmış viskilerin belli süreliğine bir fıçıya veya tanka alınması işlemi. Bu işlem ile tatların birbirlerine karışması amaçlanır.

Many scotch enthusiasts may discover that they're well into their journey of appreciation before they ever actually learn what the phrase "single malt" even means. To be considered a single malt scotch, the whisky must be distilled from a mash bill of 100 percent malted barley at one distillery and aged for a minimum of three years in wooden casks. Distillers are then allowed to get as creative as they’d like, from experimenting with the number of distillations to using a variety of cask finishes.Spirit of Speyside Whisky Festival 20th Anniversary Edition Spirit of Speyside Whisky Festival 2019 The best overall single malt scotch, in a very competitive field, is Aberlour 16. This whisky combines the best flavors of bourbon and sherry cask maturation and provides the best complexity of flavor and palate for its price range. Nose: Earthy, oily, nutty, with traces of bitter chocolate, sherry, and malt. Floral scents come and go. It’s a rather static nose, in that it doesn’t seem to develop much as it sits, but it’s pleasant and fairly robust.
