Aberlour 16 Year Old Double Cask Matured Single Malt Scotch Whisky 750ml
Sixteen Years, Two Casks, One Exceptional Dram
Aberlour is one of Speyside's most beloved distilleries — a producer of rich, sherry-influenced single malts that have earned a devoted following for their depth, warmth, and consistency. The 16 Year Old Double Cask Matured takes the distillery's signature approach — combining ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks — and extends the maturation to 16 years, allowing the two cask traditions to fully integrate and develop a complexity that the younger expressions can only hint at. The result is a Speyside single malt of genuine depth and sophistication: richer than the 12 Year Old, more nuanced than anything younger, and deeply satisfying in every dimension.
Tasting Notes
- Nose: Rich and warming — dark cherry, dried fruit, and a generous sherry sweetness with notes of cinnamon, vanilla, and toasted oak
- Palate: Full-bodied and complex — raisins, dark chocolate, and a warming spice that builds beautifully over a foundation of honeyed malt sweetness from both cask traditions
- Finish: Long and warming with lingering dark fruit, chocolate, and a smooth, dignified sherry oak warmth
