Nosing:
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:
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:
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:
First comes the fruity,then I get a sweet and then comes the spicy.After that,a hint of vanilla is present,but its very subtile.Of course,all these are acompanied all the time by the proeminent sherry.
Taste:
The sherry hits at first,and its dominant all the way,and then sweetness comes along with a hint of vanilla.
Finish:
The finnish is dominated by oaky flavour,and the sweetness is present,but very little.
Comment:
Overall a really good whisky,would recommend this to anyone,considering the ok price range.Would drink this again!
