- Description
- Aberlour's 6 Year Old from the Darkness collection finished its maturation in an Oloroso sherry octave, where the small cask's increased wood-to-spirit ratio intensifies wood interaction. The result is a richly sherried Speyside single malt with burnt sugar, cream, sweet spice, and candied nut character.
