Hailing from the glorious surroundings of Speyside, Aberlour Distillery makes some of the finest whisky in the world. It is currently owned by Chivas Brothers but unlike some of their other brands, like Strathisla or Glen Keith, Aberlour is largely released as Single Malts, and not used in their Chivas Regal blend. Palate: Full texture, round and creamy, with sweet dark cherries, fudge, and mocha coffee with a refreshing minty breeze. Nose: Big aromatics on this one with cloves, cardamom and camphor, and then comes a wave of sweeter notes like toffee, milk chocolate and orange rind. In 1975 Pernod Ricard acquired Campbell Distilleries, and joined with Chivas Brothers in 2001 and eventually opened a visitor centre.

There you find the 'peated' whiskies - which means it is those with a smokier taste. My favourite comes from Laphroaig, a love-it-or-hate-it whisky that tastes a little like smoked ham and can taste a bit like medicine for some.

It is as far away from smoky whiskies as you can get. In fact many of the Speyside options are described as fruity and sweet. Aberlour is a premium entry-level whisky. That basically means it is a perfect whisky for those to try the best that Speyside has to offer while still delivering the taste and flavours of a top quality single malt. It was bought by Robert Thorne & Sons who later sold it to W. H. Holt & Sons in 1921, a brewery near Manchester. It changed hands again in 1945 to S. Campbell & Sons Ltd. The Aberlour 14 years old Double Cask Matured is a very pleasant single malt that offers plenty to the drinker. The layers of aromas and flavours build up and the results are delicious. This whisky would be the perfect introduction for someone to the richer style/sherry cask style of whiskies and to what Aberlour do. It has a lovely level of richness and sweetness without going too far in either direction, plus a soft and gentle mouth feel.

Plenty of cocoa powder and dark chocolate, with hints of balsamic and aniseed. It has a damp earthiness to it, as well as hints of leather. Very intense, yet balanced, but not extremely complex. I’ve no idea for how long it matured in sherry casks, but judging by the aroma and the flavours, it was a considerable amount. I don’t think anyone tasting this blind, would guess this to be anything else than a big time sherry bomb. Aberlour 14 Years Old Double Cask (58,2%, OB for LMdW, 150 bts.) There is definitely nothing wrong with Aberlour 14 years Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky. I've been a whisky drinker for several years now but my tastes are pointed towards options from Islay.Regardless of whether the Service offers the functionality to contribute, you are solely responsible and liable for any content and information that you create, upload, post, publish, link to, duplicate, transmit, record, display or otherwise make available on the Service or to other Members, such as chat messages, text messages, videos, audio, audio recordings, music, pictures, photographs, text and any other information or materials, whether publicly posted or privately transmitted (“Contributions”).
