"Loving this bottling, beautifully rich and elegant and lot's dates and raisins. Would highly recommend"

"A wonderfully balanced Aberlour. Dark chocolate, orange zest, dusty oak and a medium- long finish, make this a solid sipper and a great value 18 year old. If you’re looking for a bit more oomph, an a’bunadh will work well, if you’re looking for easy drinking sherried Whisky that is still very complex, this will work wonders!"

"Great whisky enveloping notes of dried figs , sultanas , white chocolate parfait. Hints of spice accompanied by stone friut flavours and a great smooth finish on the pallate. Lovely everyday dram and worth the price"

"A Favorite among many whisky drinkers and for good reason. It has a beautiful nose, palate and finish! The dram is creamy and packed with vanilla, raisins and a silky citrus chocolate that note that lingers on the finish. It drinks easily and is a great, anytime whisky."

"A powerful nose packed with raisins, vanilla and orange zest. Creamy and rich mouthfeel that coats your palate with those raisins that you get on the nose plus some honey sweetness. A hint lemon meringue on the finish. A very powerful dram indeed."
