Whisky of the Week No.2. Abelour.
Aberlour 10 Year Old.
This years Christmas gift from W.C., a child who knows how to keep on the right side of Dad.
It's a while since I tasted this particular single malt so it was a pleasure to slowly open and expectantly pour this lovely coloured liquid. A large, slow sniff revealed brandy and sherry, later confirmed by the smooth taste of both revealing the storage methods which use both sherry and bourbon casks. Add a touch of cinnamon and nutmeg with the usual warmth of a Speyside whisky and you have a very well rounded, smooth whisky for the price.
Definitely one for the recommended list.
