Victor - I noticed that you had some Laphroaig 18 in your cabinet. I was similarly dissatisfied with my Laph Triple wood compared to my original restaurant experience. I suspect the same facts may hold here and I will give it a try. It was bought by Robert Thorne & Sons who later sold it to W. H. Holt & Sons in 1921, a brewery near Manchester.

Not many years ago, this Aberlour was one of the cheapest 18yo bottlings on the market. Look at it now; well over a ton AND only 50cl! I can only imagine a previously very good whisky has become an astronomically good one. The nose opens with citrus fruits and caramel. it is moist and soft, with lots of oranges and nectarines appearing.

Rich and fruity on the palate with notes of apricot, chocolate coated rasins,liquorice root and freshly grated nutmeg. At least that's what the manager told me was wrong with the bottle. I don't blame Highland Park. Accidents happen. Still, I don't think it was cork rot. I think it was a quality control issue in the batch I ended up with. But, still, I don't fault Highland Park. I've been buying HP18 for years and the quality was great every time but lately. The nose of that bottle smelled like a cheap bourbon. That's what I thought and that's what the manager of the liquor store reported upon smelling it (without my mentioning it). From my experience, cork rot is more of a mossy, sharp smell that reminds me of mildew and tastes mildewy as well.

I highly recommend the 18y - it is very different and, frankly, I think perhaps more flavorful than the A'bunadh. The 18 Years matures in a mix of Refill Ex-Bourbon and Refill Ex Sherry casks. (Mainly Oloroso but with a few PX casks as well). Aberlour 25 yo 1989/2015 (48.7%, OB, Distillery Reserve Collection, hogshead, cask #14387, 264 bottles) - 121017
