Whisky Overview:
Aberlour's 12 year old single malt whisky has a refined balance of citrus and crisp notes of fruits and spices, which are acquired from the traditional process of double cask maturation. Produced from the traditional oak and sherry, this whisky is soft and juicy at first, with a hint of red apple. A kick of spiciness sets in, and is finished with delicious notes of chocolate, cinnamon and ginger, which leave a lasting warmth on the palate, coupled with gentle smokey notes and pepperiness.
Tasting notes:

Product Description:
The 12 year-old expression is a fine example of how the distinctively crisp, citrus character of Aberlour’s raw spirit is deftly softened by double cask maturation. Traditional oak & seasoned Sherry butts are both used to great effect, as the mellowed spirits within are combined to deliver a subtly balanced flavour. The elegant legacy of Aberlour has been achieved much acclamation over the years, more recently, the gold medal at the San Francisco World Spirit Awards 2015, a double gold at the 2016 San Francisco World Spirits Competition and a silver medal at the 2017 San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
