Tasting Notes

Colour

white wine

air Nose

very fresh but extremely aromatic, although a little milky and yeasty. Huge notes of overripe apples, with an unusual sourness. Lots of aniseed, fennel… And we have the oak and, indeed a rather bold ‘toastiness’, caramel, vanilla custard… Also violets. Quite different from most Aberlours we know, including the ones that used to mature in bourbon wood. Almost as aromatic as a grappa! (I’ll spare you useless jokes about grappa/Italy – lucky you.)

restaurant Palate

very sweet and hugely fruity (but simply so, mostly on apples and pears), with quite some tannins after that, pepper, cinnamon, vanilla. You can really get plain wood, almost like in some ‘new’ oaked Chardonnays. The whole is pretty simple

timer Finish

not too long, but vanilled and still quite oaky. Okay, not a total wood bomb but… 78 points . Aberlour A’bunadh batch #13 (59.8%, OB, 2004)
