Aberlour 12 Year Old Double Cask Matured

I'm more of an Islay drinker as I learn more but..., from the few Speyside/highlands I have tried. this one gives enough kick and complexity to make it interesting and not overly sweet.

Nose: Malty, light sweet butterscotch, alcohol over shadows and burns any light sents for me at this time.

Taste: Again Malty, a bit pungent (which I like) Spicy, gets back into the nose quickly. NOt at all as sweet as it smells but it has a good balance.

Finish: pepper and alcohol, lingers a short while.
