This expression is a fine example of how the distinctively crisp, citrus character of Aberlour’s distillate is deftly softened by double cask maturation. Traditional Oak and seasoned Sherry butts are both used to great effect, as the mellowed spirits within are combined to deliver a subtly balanced flavour. On the nose: cinnamon, buttery toast, raisin, oak and a hint of cherry. On the palate: maple syrup, butter, brown sugar, raisins, nutmeg and milk chocolate. The finish is of medium length with raisins, chocolate and a hint of char. Rich and fruity with delicious Christmas cake notes and excellent balance.
