Aberlour 12 Year Old Double Cask Scotch Whisky is a fine example of how the distinctively crisp, citrus character of Aberlour’s new distillate is deftly softened by double cask maturation. Aged in both traditional oak and seasoned sherry butts, the mellowed spirits are combined to deliver a subtly balanced Speyside single malt of genuine elegance — golden amber with hints of ruby, sweet and spicy, with a warm and lingering finish.

Appearance

Golden amber with hints of ruby — the warm, inviting colour of a whisky shaped by sherry butt maturation.

Aroma

Soft and rounded, with fruity notes of red apple leading a gentle and approachable bouquet. The sherry cask influence adds a subtle sweetness and depth that complements the crisp Speyside distillate beneath.

Palate

A fine sherried character — fruity aromas balanced with rich chocolate and the warm spice that defines the Aberlour house style. Sweet and spicy in equal measure, with the double cask maturation delivering a subtlety and balance that is immediately satisfying.

Finish

Warm and lingering — the sherry butt influence carrying the chocolate and spice notes long after the glass is empty.

Pairs With

Dark chocolate, dried fruits, Christmas cake, and aged hard cheeses. A natural companion to a quiet evening and nothing else in particular.
