Aberlour 16 Year Old Review
The sipping experience of this 16-year-old release is a decadent one. It is matured in American oak and sherry butts, and the nose bursts with baking spices and a perfumed undercurrent of sweet, fortified wine. The palate has a great concentration of flavors and is well-rounded and rich. At 40 percent ABV, this whisky is really well priced for what it has to offer.
