The 10 years old Aberlour is characterized by its old gold with
copper glints colour.
The nose detects wet wood, sherry and some toffee and menthol
hints.
The palate is relatively dry, but its sweetness evokes warm honey
and spices.
The final is rather long and goes on to spices with a light bitterness.
A pleasant malt.
Commentaire de |
Peut-être le moins cher des single malts écossais, une excellente entrée en matière aux whiskys du Speyside. Couleur entre ambrée et vieil or, on sent d'entrée le sherry ainsi que la vanille. La bouche se développe sur du boisé, du malt et du sherry. Les fruits (agrumes) apparaissent ensuite. La finale est moyenne, chaude, sur le caramel et les épices. |

A'Bunadh means "original" in gaelic.
Orange colour.
The powerful nose evokes sherry, full fragrances, slightly smoked,
and recalls smells of red fruit, and has a fine sherry character.
The smooth palate is rich with menthol hints. The fruit taste
is intense. Sweet in the palate, with chocolate and orange notes.
The sweet finish (nougat, praline) is spicy (ginger) and slightly
smoked, with a honey aftertaste.

Colour.: Red Golden, Mahogany Nose.: Vanilla, liquorice and walnuts in a little strange but very interesting harmony, later delicate notes of crushed red pepper with cocoa appear. Palate: the 60,2% are rolling in with some heftiness, stingy coppery, metallic note add with the wood and sherry aromes. The malt cannot really get through successfully, so a impression of a soft disbalance leaves its marks. Finish: after a massive crescendo the malts finally beats through and dominates a long and warm finish. A strong bottle but the second dram is much more fulfilling. |

Date of tasting: 31/10 2007 Apperance: A very deep copper with henna notes Nose: Fruity and winey notes. Plums and raisins, some rubber. The straight nose has astonishingly little prickle for being at 60% abv. Dryish wood and some fragrant fabric softener notes. Reduced to nosing strength it lends more fresh fruit, citric notes and just a hint of lavendar. Peppery and leafy with some toffee. Curiously cooling. While the straight nose was deeply sherried the reduced nose is very fresh, but over time it seems to want to return to it's sherried beginnings. Body: Quite heavy and oily. Palate: Lots of dried fruits carries over. Deep, sherried notes on an oily background. The reduced dram doesn't feel that astonishing but has lots of pleasant Speyside characteristics. It's ! a rich and sweet fruitcake with a pretty long finish which reveals some honey first, then some drying wood and ends with a prickling reminder of sherry. Luxurious. |
