Aberlour 10 Year Old

Nose: light and floral with delicate notes of nuts and apples, this is classic speyside whisky. Very slightly oily, but generally a charming bouquet.

Palate: Fresh and delicate; there are notes of melon, citrus and some vanilla and spice (maybe nutmeg). Developing well on the palate, the dram begins to reveal a honey and butterscotch sweetness

Body: smooth and light-bodied, this is a very easy-drinking whisky and would maybe make a good aperitif.

Overall, this is not a particularly interesting or complicated whisky, but it is extremely approachable and goes down very easily. This would be an excellent dram to help introduce someone to whisky, especially if they are a wine drinker.
