The fifth of advent, a 40 full of cheer. Corona got you trapped inside, why not drink a whole box of whisky. What could possibly go wrong?
Aberlour is a distillery we don’t get much of – one review and one BattleScotch in the past, one review coming up sometime this year. This Aberlour 6y is the youngest Aberlour we’ve had – this Advent set has a lot of variety in age.
Aberlour 6y seems to be offered exclusively through The Boutiquey Whisky Company. who make the Advent calendar, and isn’t mentioned on Aberlour’s own site.
Only so much you can say about a tiny little bottle, so here’s what we thought:
nose
Dan – leather, peat, salt
Simon – apples, cherry, mash
neat
Dan – spicy, rum candy, pepper, burnt baked apple
Simon – sweet, wood, hot
finish
Dan – meh
Simon – clean, heat
splash
Dan – chocolately & cocoa, smooth
Simon – very drinkable, smooth
overall
Dan – 6/10
Simon – 7/10
Aberlour 6y Batch 8 Single Malt Scotch – 30ml 49.9% – ??? – Speyside
Try it? Yes. Buy it? No.
