Aberlour 16 Year Old Double Cask Matured
ABERLOUR 16 Year Old Double Cask Matured is a Speyside single malt Scotch whisky aged for 16 years and shaped by Aberlour’s double cask style. The official 70cl expression is bottled at 40% ABV and draws strong influence from Spanish oak oloroso sherry butts, giving a deep, fruity profile with plum, raisin, spice and gentle oak character.
Aberlour identifies this expression as part of its Double Cask Matured collection, a style associated with American oak and sherry cask influence. The 16 Year Old takes its strongest character from Spanish oak oloroso sherry butts, which contribute sweet raisin, floral and spicy nutty qualities. Pernod Ricard also describes Aberlour’s double cask maturation as combining Oloroso sherry and American oak casks for depth, complexity and character.
In the glass it shows a rich golden amber colour. The aroma brings scented floral notes, sweet raisin and a touch of spicy nuttiness. On the palate it is smooth and full, combining sweet floral spice with soft plum fruitiness and gentle oak. The finish is long, warm and fruity, with a restrained lift of spice.
This 16 year old Speyside malt suits buyers looking for a fruit-led, sherry-influenced single malt for relaxed sipping, dinner occasions or a whisky gift with a clear age statement. Serve it neat in a nosing glass, or add a small splash of water if you prefer the fruit and spice to open more gently.
