Aberlour Suthainn Double Sherry Cask Solera, 48%,
Price: ● Issue: Summer 2025 ● Reviewer: Jonny McCormick ● Category: Single Malt Scotch
Meaning “everlasting” in Gaelic, this complex recipe combines double cask matured whiskies with solera reserve whisky. There are notes of dark sherry fruit with damson, blueberry, and marmalade peels on the nose, plus toasted teacake, vanilla, toffee, and cinnamon aromas. The palate has cinnamon, toffee, vanilla, dried vine fruits, and punchy peppery spices, though it yields to offer a creamier second act with hints of dark chocolate on the finish.
