A New Era Dawns
Aberlour 16 Double Charred Selection
The Aberlour 16 Years Old Double Charred Selection is an exclusive Travel Retail Edition that impresses with particularly intensive cask management and a long maturation period. This elaborately produced bottling combines the soft Speyside style typical of Aberlour with an innovative double-charred cask maturation, in which both American oak casks and Oloroso sherry butts are burnt twice to achieve maximum depth and variety of flavors.
Bottled at 43% alcohol by volume, uncolored and with an intense cask finish, this 16-year-old single malt Scotch whisky offers a full-bodied, harmonious yet powerful enjoyment experience. The combination of toasted oak, fruity sherry sweetness and spicy structure makes it a versatile pleasure for discerning whisky lovers. (automated translation)
Tasting Notes
Color: Rich amber with a coppery sheen.
Nose: Complex and elegant with dark forest berries, sherry raisins, roasted almonds, cinnamon, vanilla and a hint of charcoal.
Taste: Full-bodied and smooth with notes of caramel, dried fruit, toasted oak, cocoa, nutmeg and a subtle smokiness.
Finish: Long and balanced with warming spicy notes, malty sweetness and a fine, slightly toasted finish.
The Aberlour 16 Years Double Charred Selection unfolds its full potential neat at room temperature, but can also be enjoyed with a few drops of water to bring out the roasted aromas even better. Ideal for connoisseurs looking for cask-intensive, matured Speyside whiskies with depth. This single malt is an excellent culinary accompaniment to dark chocolate with orange zest, smoked cheese, fig compote or spicy nut desserts. (automated translation)
