Sweets for the sweet: Aberlour has always made a subtle, almost delicate malt, although with a goodly hit of sherry-barrel oak to keep it from floating away. The non-chill filtered version foregoes the fine filtering that prevents whisky from clouding up when you add ice. It also sucks out just a little bit of the flavor. Without it, the Aberlour is perceptibly richer. A malt for a winter’s evening by the fire.
-
Details
Roses, candyfloss, slightly buttery. Perfect balance of sherry and the malty, spicy, house character. The two elements are tightly combined, with the spicy flavours emerging slowly: nutmeg, aniseed and emphatic orange-flower. Complex and sophisticated.
-
Details
More subtle and complex than the new 12 year old, and not as sweet. Creamy in texture and floral on the nose, with dried vanilla, gentle spice, nectarine, kiwi, plum, and lemon gum drops. Soft, elegant finish with a hint of mint. Great balance of a variety of flavors and lots of finesse. A well-crafted whisky!
-
Details

This latest Port Charlotte vats many different kinds of casks together, including bourbon, sherry, French wine, and Spanish Tempranillo. There are lemons and citrus elements on my bouquet. Lots of lemon tart and lemon peel, with a hint of what’s coming with the smoke. There is a sweet grassy weight to the bouquet that reminds me of chamomile tea with honey. The citrus fades away then apples and clementines becoming much more present. And what was gentle smoke becomes sturdier on the finish.
