Derek,
I haven't opened it yet, once i open it ill do a review. Shippwas pretty good tbough b
Don,
Was not familiar with Speyside Scotch. It deserves high ratings. Smooth and extremely fragrant. A lingering sweet aftertaste with a punch.
Don,
Very nice. Made a good selection upon recommendations and was very satisfied.
Lynn,
I very much savored every sip! I relax after work with a glass, my feet up and enjoying life in these difficult times
Dax,
It wasn't bad, but considering the price, I was disappointed. For your money the A'bunadh and the Casg Annamh are a better value and every bit as good.
Sean,
Nice, the sherry definitely comes through and some good sweet fruity flavors tempered by a little spice. Would like it a bit higher proof, it feels flat at 80 proof.
Ted,
Very nice Speyside. Nice blend of sweet and spice with just a touch of smoke.
Don,
An exceptional elixir. One of my favorites, and I have sampled many. I keep coming back to it.
Kelly,
Truly exceptional! Best if you let it sit in the glass for about 5ish minutes before enjoying. Rich flavor. Bold cinnamon and baking spice, mild sherry and oak, finishes smooth with subtle warm vanilla and toasted caramel notes. I’ll buy it over and over.
Daniel,
So smooth with a hint of a bite at the end. Warm throughout. Almost like a great dessert wine, complex and delicious!
Terry,
It is spicy and sweet at the same time. It starts out a bit harsh and then mellows out a bit.
Petra,
Abelour, of the Spey. The rich brown of Alba, the delicate notes, you will be very pleased with the heft of the shapely bottle as well as the contents within!
Kenneth,
This is like a dessert, full of flavor and warming!
- [Batch 67]
- Nose: Sherry, caramel, butterscotch, oranges
- Palate: Sherry, oak, medicinal, leaves, dried fruits, some bitterness
- Finish: Peppery, warm, thick and a bit creamy"
Jim,
A sweet honey and fruit nose with vanilla wafts. Smooth taste and mild spice finish. Not much smoke in this dram. Easy sipping scotch.
Steve,
Very smooth and not "harsh" at all. No as peaty as some, but that's ok, I very much like the sweet, smooth taste of this one!
Nick,
Very soft and sweet in the mouth. Not much complexity, but dangerously easy sipper. Good price for 12yo with both sherry and bourbon casks in play.
Leif,
Wow this is bitter. Yuck. I'll stick to my 12 year Aberlour which is much smoother, my my Glenlivet which is half the price.
Jason,
This quickly became my favorite scotch so far because of its smooth rich flavors and easy drinkability.
Todd,
For a mid level scotch, this is the one. I can sip this and really enjoy the flavors.
Rachel,
This is one of my favs. Smooth neat, and even smoother with one cube of ice.
Tracy,
The a'bunadh is the most complex Scotch I have tasted to date. That being said I am not a fan of high proof whiskeys so I ended up buying the Abelour 12 and mixing them. My next Abelour will be the 16 and if it is half as good as the a'bunadh then it will be a bar staple for me.
Bryan,
Very good. People don't like smooth in a description, but to me it just means it isn't so alcohol forward that it has that initial burn. I thought this was pretty smooth, well balanced, little spice, some critrus. Although, I don't think it was that much better than the 12 year for the money.
James,
A lot of smoke, some dark fruits and some other things I'm just not up to snuff on picking out yet (I'm a bit of a noob). Was less harsh and a bit sweeter than Ardbeg.
Dax,
This is my go to on poker night, everybody loves it. Not only that, with the high proof, you get more for your money. It's dangerously smooth, so don't go overboard.
Bryce,
I didn't like this as much as I hoped. The mouth feel is good, and the taste is good on the palate. But the finish leaves something to be desired (for me). I think for under $50 I may try this bottle again, but I'll probably look elsewhere for bottles in the $60-$65 price range. I agree with the tasting notes, which is why I am not overly excited: the sweetness lingers on the finish, but the smoke and sherry dissipate pretty quickly. I'd prefer the opposite. Having said that, it's still a pretty good bottle. But, for my taste buds, Glendronach 12 beats this bottle.
Frederick,
This used to be a phenomenal whiskey (BETTER THAN THE 18 YO) but aberlour has lowered the Abv to the bare minimum of 40%. They did this with the 12 yo too and both have suffered tremendously. I used to buy 10-12 bottles of the 12 and 3-4 of the 16 per year. I loved this scotch. It was my go to dram of choice, but Aberlour has killed them- all to save a buck. If you like this whiskey, you should try a bottle at the hight abv.
aaron,
It's about the most inexpensive 97-point bottle you'll ever see. A surprising treat with notes of apples and cinnamon.
