Aberlour 16 Year Old
The Aberlour 16 is the sophisticated older brother of the 14 Year Old which we released in September 2021 with a rousing success. This whisky melds together the best of both worlds from the American Oak and Spanish Sherry wood alongside Aberlour’s rich fruitiness and spicey spirit.
United KingdomColour Rich golden amber
Nose Rose petals, maraschino cherries and chocolate.
Palate Sherried with floral spice, dried fruits and rich oak.
Finish Long, warm and fruity, with dark chocolate and a little spice.
Overview
Using two different types of casks, this whisky hasn’t been finished, but has been married together in a slow and deliberate way, creating a wonderful balance of liquid. 200 litre American oak ex-Bourbon casks were filled with Aberlour’s spirit, while 500 litre Spanish Sherry butts help impart a long lasting rich fruity character to the whisky.
Rich golden amber in colour, it's a fusion of Maraschino cherries, floral spice, fruit and oak with a long warm lingering finish of dark chocolate.
If you enjoyed the Aberlour 14 Year Old, you’re going to love this whisky with its extra complexity and bringing all those classic Aberlour flavours to life. You’ll also want to get in quickly as we only have a very small amount of stock and this will no doubt fly off our shelves with Aberlour being a huge Club favourite.
