The Aberlour 12 Year Old Double Cask is a single malt Scotch whisky from the Speyside region, known for its balanced flavor profile achieved through double cask maturation. The whisky is aged in both traditional American oak and sherry casks, which imparts it with a rich and complex character.
It has a golden amber color with hints of ruby. On the nose, expect soft and rounded fruity notes of red apples, while the palate offers a fine balance of sherried fruit, rich chocolate, and a touch of spice.
The finish is warm, lingering, and slightly sweet with a hint of spice.
