Distribution of ratings for this:
Color: amber.
Nose: orange zest and red delicious apples with a hint of vanilla. Subtle but quite nice.
Body: same creamy fullness I expect from Aberlour.
Palate: oaky toffee sweetness with a good deal of peppery cinnamon spice. Quite good and very satisfying.
Finish: long, warm, and spicy, with a lingering aftertaste of chocolate covered raisins and bananas. I think I might like this finish more than the A'bunadh.
I'd been craving Aberlour but wanted to try something other than the A'bunadh, and this was $10 cheaper. I was not disappointed. This is a fantastic whisky. The lightness of the nose belies the punch of the spirit. This is a powerhouse 12-year. If you like Aberlour, I suspect you'll like this.
Great Review. I love Aberlour. I've only had the 12yr DC and the 16yr DC. I haven't had the glory of having this or the A'bunadh. Yet. Anyway.
