Nosing: Fruit Apple Vanilla Sherry Sweet
Fruity with red apple, Sherry, vanilla and honey. There's a sort of menthol note that slowly dissipates as it sits in the glass.

Taste: Sherry Pear Sweet Raisin Vanilla
Medium sweet sherry arrival. Mixed fruitiness but mostly pears, and raisin with vanilla. There's a slight alcohol nip on the tip of the tongue but nothing excessive.

Finish: Oak Fruit Sweet
Medium short and oaky with mixed fruits

Comment:
I thought I'd check out this version of Aberlour being a big fan of the A'bunadh series. I can see the distillery character shared between them but this is a mixed bag for me. The nose is good but the palate and particularly the finish are a little one dimensional. Still, it was a value proposition so I'm not overly disappointed, worth trying but nothing to write home about.

Nosing: strong fruity nose, some nuts

Taste: Strong fruity taste, domination of sherry notes, nuts, sweet, gingerbread

Finish: Not to long but nice, sweet, honey, slightly spicy

Comment: This is very nice whisky, maybe not for a original price but worthy good occasion in supermarkets. The taste is strong and nicely balanced. I don't have comparision with other Aberlour's howevere I like this one. The sweatness is so fruity, great to have it with a cake.
