Aberlour 16 year old Double Charred Selection, 43%
Price: ● Issue: Summer 2025 ● Reviewer: Jonny McCormick ● Category: Summer 2025
Initially matured in bourbon and oloroso sherry casks, with a portion finished in extra-charred American oak barrels, this is a standout whisky for its depth and balance. The nose has sweet vanilla, toffee, toasted oak, heather honey, dried vine fruit, chocolate, and cocoa powder. Rich, indulgent, and delicious, with flavors of milk chocolate, brown sugar, vanilla essence, Nutella, gingersnap, toasty oak, and spiced chocolate on the finish.
