About Aberlour 16Yr
Aberlour 16 Year Old is a Single Malt Scotch Whisky from the Speyside region of Scotland, produced by Pernod Ricard USA, with an ABV of 40% (80 proof) and available in 750ml bottles priced at $104.94. This double cask matured expression spends time in both American oak ex-bourbon barrels and European oak Oloroso sherry casks, delivering the classic Aberlour sherried style with added sweetness, spice, and vibrant fruit notes from the charred oak influence. What makes it special is its harmonious balance of lush plum, raisin, and floral aromas with gentle oakiness, offering complexity despite the lighter 40% ABV—reviewers note its creamy mouthfeel and delicate layers of dried fruits and spice that evolve beautifully. Ideal for sipping enthusiasts seeking a refined, accessible Speyside malt for special occasions, it's nimbler and softer than bolder Aberlour releases like A'bunadh, standing out in its category for underrated quality and value among 16-year-olds, though some wish for higher proof to amplify depth.
Tasting Notes
👃 Nose
The nose opens with creamy sweet raisin aromas, lush plum, and rich floral notes alongside spicy nuttiness. Green apple, butterscotch, orange oil, juicy apricot, and vanilla mingle with warming woody spices like cinnamon, mace, and gingerbread. Fresh linen and malty honey emerge with air time, creating a balanced, fruity profile.
👅 Palate
On the palate, it feels luscious, smooth, and medium-oily with sweet caramel, tangy orange zest, and soft baked apple in butterscotch sauce. Floral and spicy flavors blend with plum fruitiness, dried raspberry, creamed coconut, marzipan, and freshly sawn oak with cinnamon and clove. Delicate dried fruits like raisins, figs, and strawberries add complexity, though lightness from 40% ABV mutes intensity.
✨ Finish
The finish is long, warming, and gloriously spicy with honeyed notes, oak tannins, light malty sweetness, and lingering gingerbread, cinnamon, and clove. Sugary tropical juiciness fades slowly, leaving a nutty, creamy trail.
