Aberlour 16 Year Double Cask Matured Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Aberlour 16 Double Cask is the Speyside distillery's sherried house style at sixteen years — matured in traditional oak and sherry casks, married, and bottled at 43% — the elegant middle of the age-stated range. James Fleming founded Aberlour in 1879 on the banks of the Spey; Pernod Ricard owns it, and double cask maturation — part ex-bourbon American oak, part Oloroso sherry, married rather than finished — is the signature of the 12, 16, and 18. The 16 Year is matured sixteen years in both casks and bottled at 43% ABV. Expect the Aberlour sherry profile with more age and less heat than A'bunadh: a nose of dried fruit, honey, and gentle spice with a floral lift, a rounded, silky palate of raisin, orange, toffee, and cinnamon with the bourbon oak's vanilla underneath, and a long, warm, softly spiced finish. Whisky Notes and Distiller's user reviews place it as the balanced Aberlour — sherry-led but never heavy. Honest note: the Aberlour for the drinker who wants sixteen years of sherried Speyside without cask strength — the after-dinner sipper, the Macallan alternative at a better price, and the gift that reads as classic. Neat. Aberlour, sixteen years, double cask.
