Once a novelty when The Balvenie started finishing whisky, this is now a very common (almost traditional) procedure that doesn’t really stand out from the crowd. That said, Aberlour has a long history of double maturation so they know what they’re doing. Our Service is an online platform which provides Members with information (e.g. bottle facts, market-indices, market values and prices) on (mostly) whisky and allows Members to add information to the platform. We do not sell, nor does the Service provide any option to buy, any alcoholic products. Aberlour is a premium entry-level whisky. That basically means it is a perfect whisky for those to try the best that Speyside has to offer while still delivering the taste and flavours of a top quality single malt.

We may sell, license, transfer, assign or in any other way dispose of the Service (including Members) to any third party without any notification to you, e.g. (but without limitation) in connection with any reorganization, restructuring, merger or sale, or other transfer of assets. Hailing from the glorious surroundings of Speyside, Aberlour Distillery makes some of the finest whisky in the world. It is currently owned by Chivas Brothers but unlike some of their other brands, like Strathisla or Glen Keith, Aberlour is largely released as Single Malts, and not used in their Chivas Regal blend.The whisky comes in a variety of ages 10, 12, 15, 16, 18 year old and rare 30-year-old 1970 vintage malt, as well as a cask strength releases. I've never really experimented with whisky from Speyside, a region in North East Scotland around the River Spey known for its best-selling whiskies such as The Glenlivet and Glenfiddich. I'll be sharing the bottle at BBQs with others because that is what this Aberlour 14 years whisky is all about - sharing and enjoying. That can't be said of all whiskies, particularly if your friends and family are not single malt drinkers. In 1975 Pernod Ricard acquired Campbell Distilleries, and joined with Chivas Brothers in 2001 and eventually opened a visitor centre. Terribly disappointing to say the least. Watery and something about it even tasted off to me like it was half built with a synthetic whisky alternative. Thought I was maybe having a bad day and my taste buds were off but successive attempts yielded nothing but an aversion. I tried, Lord I tried with it but I’ve now put it away in the cupboard out of sight, out of mind and am waiting for someone to wrong me so I can give it to them.

Nose: Dark and rich sherry notes. Plenty of cocoa powder and dark chocolate, with hints of balsamic and aniseed. It has a damp earthiness to it, as well as hints of leather. Very intense, yet balanced, but not extremely complex. The distillery reserve collection limited release of rare and exceptional whiskies from Chivas Brothers. The flavours are typical Speyside but with a summer twist. It's full of vanilla flavours but there is a definite hint of summer fruits. Light, sweet and smooth, the whisky is beautifully balanced. It's a refreshing whisky that's perfectly pitched for a summer dram. Couldn’t agree more. Really disappointed. Hints of nice flavours but really watered down or diluted. Such a shame as something of 14 years should be a strong flavoured dramI have not enjoyed a sweet whisky like this in a long time. Aberlour's use of two barrels to age the single malt - Oloroso Sherry casks and first fill American Oak casks - has lead to a unique but drinkable option. The noes begins with lots of oak wood, caramel and vanilla. The vanilla is especially present and gives it a brilliant sweetness. Dark cherries and hints of marzipan and sweet nuts also come through. There are only a few distilleries truly known for releasing sherry matured whiskies, and Aberlour is certainly one of them. Their entire core range is highlighted by sherry influenced drams, with the Aberlour a’bunadh probably the most well-known example.

The colour is golden amber and the nose has a lovely sweetness and richness to it. Aromas of brown sugar, caramel and heather honey mingle with some dried fruit (think of raisin, sultana and candied orange peel especially) initially. Then a hint of ripe brambles comes through along with a good pinch of baking spice (imagine cinnamon and all-spice in particular) and a distinct oat-like quality. The finish is of decent length. The sweetness and richness stretch things out as the individual elements begin to fade - first the honey/toffee, then the green apples, then the dried fruit notes and finally the cereal and baking spice characteristics. Yep you’re on the money. Just wrong really. Why put some much into something for 14 years only to rip all of the decent flavours out of it to make it 40%. My advice, having bought a bottle, would be to look elsewhere Today’s particular release is from ten years ago already, so the whisky for this was actually distilled in the early nineties. It is a Double Cask whisky, meaning it matured both ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks. Part of that ocore range is their 14 Year Old. This is one of the youngest malts that the distillery makes and is a really sumptuous offering. It has been matured in both Oloroso Sherry casks and first fill American Oak casks, giving it a wood forward flavour profile.No partnership, joint venture, agency, or employment relationship is created as a result of your use of the Service.

The Aberlour 14 years old Double Cask Matured is a very pleasant single malt that offers plenty to the drinker. The layers of aromas and flavours build up and the results are delicious. This whisky would be the perfect introduction for someone to the richer style/sherry cask style of whiskies and to what Aberlour do. It has a lovely level of richness and sweetness without going too far in either direction, plus a soft and gentle mouth feel.
