The Aberlour 12
This Scotch is an amazing drink. I first picked this up at my local bevmo in studio city. Which by the way happens to be one of the newer bevmo's and one with an excellent Scotch selection.
The Aberlour 12 is a Speyside Scotch, so if you remember what I discussed in my scotch 101 post, you should know that this whiskey will be sweet and soft with some floral hints. Now lets see if my knowledge hold true.
Nose: Sweet and not over powering. Plenty of sweet fruit and a background of floral textures.
Palate: Clean and smooth. Light spice on the tounge with hints of chocolate and sweet apple.
Color: Dark honey with a tint of amber. Almost red at the center of the whiskey.
Finish: Very textured and complex. It ends long and warm,with the clean, crisp taste of cinnamon and ginger
In all i give this scotch a mark of 4 stars out of 5. Highly recommended to those who love the sweeter whiskies. Drink neat and add little water to open up. Enjoy with a cigar or cashews.
