Tasting Notes

This Aberlour 6 Year Old Oloroso Cask Finish is a delightful single malt that invites you into a world of rich, indulgent flavors. The aroma tantalizes with notes of burnt brown sugar, toasted marzipan, and blanched almonds, hinting at the decadent experience to come. On the palate, it unfolds with layers of dark caramel, crème brulée, and a robust, roasty maltiness that give way to hearty baking spices and the sweetness of sticky flapjacks. As you savor the finish, the burnt sugar notes linger, complemented by sweet, dense spices and the comforting taste of fruity oatmeal cookies. This expression, finished in oloroso sherry octave casks, exemplifies the sherry cask goodness that Aberlour is renowned for, with the smaller cask size ensuring an intense interaction between the whisky and the wood, resulting in a spirit brimming with indulgent character.
