Aberlour 16 yo Cask 4738 for TWE

This is quite dry when enjoyed neat, but with a splash of water the full gamut of sherry flavours begins to resonate. Excellent. – Rating: 89/100

Aberlour 23 yo 1989/2013 Cadenhead Small Batch

July 20, 2014

Bourbon casks are rather unusual for this distillery, but this does not have to mean this whisky is more boring than your usual sherry cask Aberlour. A fine creamy malt with nice fruity flavours. – Rating: 86/100

Aberlour A’bunadh Batch 39

May 31, 2013

Very nice on nose and palate but not quite on eye level with other batches, especially the finish. – Rating: 84/100

Aberlour 12 yo Non Chill-Filtered

This is a very decent daily dram with nice rich flavours though it is not not overly complex.
– Rating: 83/100

Aberlour Batch 1 – That Boutique-y Whisky Company

A few drops of water open it up a bit, but this dram does not give away a great deal of flavours. It is all very subdued. – Rating: 78/100

Aberlour 10 yo

A surprisingly strong density of flavours makes this a very enjoyable sherried entry level dram. – Rating: 84/100

Aberlour A’bunadh Batch 41

June 21, 2012

Water unleashes the demons. I tasted many wonderful a’Bunadhs, but this batch should never have been bottled. – Rating: Neat: 68/100, with water: 45/100

Aberlour 18 yo

Having a strong and very nice old-fashioned sherry nose, the whisky calms down quite a bit on the palate, leaving a slightly watery feeling. – Rating: 83/100

Aberlour 16 yo

Quite gentle in character, not really an aroma bomb, simply a pleasant middle-aged malt where the wood is beginning to be noticeable
– Rating: 83/100

Aberlour 14 yo Duncan Taylor NC2

December 13, 2011

The very fresh and enjoyable nose is countered by a rather disappointing palate. The finish is not very convincing either. Not the best casks went into this bottling. – Rating: 73/100

Aberlour 1990/2010 The Whisky Cask

October 4, 2011

Stripped from its trademark sherry influence, this Aberlour is a great opportunity to taste the plain distillery style. – Rating: 86/100

Aberlour 1992/2010 Cooper’s Choice

March 26, 2011

An unusal bourbon cask bottling of Aberlour. It is very spicy in an aromatic sense and still remarkably smooth and gentle. The liquorice note is rather prominent. – Rating: 83/100

Aberlour a’Bunadh Batch 32

February 18, 2011
Thumbnail image for Aberlour a’Bunadh Batch 32

A typical a’Bunadh with a very good balance of fruit and spice as well as youth and maturity. – Rating: 87/100

Aberlour a’Bunadh Batch 30

July 16, 2010
Thumbnail image for Aberlour a’Bunadh Batch 30

This batch is not as fruity as others I have tasted. The emphasis is more on the dry spicyness that makes it a very complex and enjoyable dram. – Rating: 86/100

Aberlour A’bunadh Batch 22

August 27, 2009
Thumbnail image for Aberlour A’bunadh Batch 22

Quite sweet and spicy, I remember earlier batches that were more on the fruity side. But it’s a very nice whisky. – Score; 87/100

Aberlour Sherry Cask Matured 12 yo

July 19, 2009

A solid and well-balanced sherry cask malt of the milder kind – Score: 83/100
