- Description
- Aberlour's 2012 vintage spent a decade maturing in a first-fill oloroso sherry hogshead before James Eadie's cask-strength independent bottling in 2023, producing just 309 bottles. Sherry influence defines the profile: dried fruits, nutmeg, and warm spice meld with the distillery's characteristic Speyside smoothness. The palate is rich and rounded, with lingering oak spice and a satisfying depth. A cask-forward Speyside for those who appreciate sherry's generous hand in whisky maturation.
