The sweet and spicy.
The waters in these parts of Speyside are known not only for their purity but also for their healing powers according to druid priests that lived there in times of the Celts. Later, they used the same water to baptise them into Christianity. So it is no wonder they used nature's best and produced a fantastic product. What is better to make from water than Scotch Whisky!?
True to this legacy and heritage, young James Fleming, a farmer's son who supplied grain to local distilleries had a dream to build a perfect distillery in the 19th century. A daring modernist as he was, he did not let anything differ from his expectations. And his dream of the perfect dram lives to this day, in the Aberlour Distillery.
Matured in two different casks, this is a complex and rich dram. It is fruity and spicy with a little hint of sweetness from the thick, oak wood. The barrels play a massive part in the finished product and can be tasted in a sweet oakyness with a good amount of spice on top.

Ratings & Reviews
Brendan,
Ok. While the sherry and oak flavors are present, a higher ABV would really help with the mouthfeel. I would avoid this expression and go with either the 12 (for price) or 18 year (for taste).
Kenneth,
One of my faves. I love the simplicity of the flavors, nice light smoke with a touch of spice. Not too sweet not too tart.
James,
Nose: Caramel, sherry, cognac, toffee, fresh fruit, raisins, fresh plum, cinnamon, mulled wine, pineapple, banana, tropical fruits, lychee, eastern spices
Taste: citrus, honey, anise, mouth watering.
Base note: burnt sugar, vanilla, cooked apples, Cinamon. This one clearly should sit in the glass
Lawrence,
Mild oak and apple with small spice at the back of the throat.
Richard,
Great dram. Mellow, smooth, but falvorful. A great daily drinker. One of my current favorites.
