Tasting Notes by Billy A
Nose: Buttery cinnamon toast, concentrated raisin in the background, astringent woody touches, glacé cherry, barrel char.
Palate: Big sweet butter hit, with maple syrup, brown sugar, plump raisins, nutmeg, milk chocolate and more of the char from the nose.
Finish: Medium length, with chocolate, raisins and more char.
Comment: A sweet dram with good levels of sherry spice and richness, although not overly heavy. There is a touch of welcome bitter char that reigns the dram in before it can become too sweet, providing excellent balance.

Sweet and straight forward. It has the sweet fruit taste and chocolate notes which are expressed in many reviews and notes. But it is not one of the greats. The finish is not long on the palette and it is simple.

I am a big peat fan but I always like the Aberlour 12. A rich, full bodied taste, always a pleasure to drink any time of the year. Smooth and mellow with hints of vanilla, nutmeg and licorice.
-
This is probably the best value for your money scotch. It outperforms whiskies that cost $20 more. Smooth, sweet with some nice spice and wood. Very well balanced. Great Speyside malt, and I'm a guy who's usually an Islay drinker.
-
Nose very great explosive taste one of the best for the price very good this is a everyday scotch to have ! Lots of flavour that you have to have all the times!!!
-
It's a great 12 year old
-
before I have drunk a lot of brands of Whisly ...but this whisky was amarzing for me... i like the taste flavour, it definitely is delicious ...
-
probably one of the sweetest drams I've ever had the pleasure of tasting. Very fruity, smooth and buttery on the palette with Chistmassy spices that add lovely complexity. Just so very nice and a steal at the price. Easily repurchase worthy.
-
Surprising great taste at a affordable price. I try new whiskeys every year at christmas and then drink them throughout the year. This Whiskey's warm flavor had me returning and using up the bottle before January was half over. Definitely will tell my Maker's Mark friends they need to give over to a new brand Aberlour.

Bought a bottle after hearing good things, and i wasnt disappointed. Really rich dried fruits on the nose with apple and cinammon. The palate is more of the same followed by a really nice oak charr. Great stuff after a meal.
-
For the price, it is a great sherry dram. I would rate it better than Glendronach, and below Glenfarclas.

I was very disappointed by this expression. This whisky doesn't lack for richness, but, there is no smoothness or nuance, here -- a distasteful alcohol burn and accompanying heat dominate and overwhelm everything else on the palate. Frankly, I found Dewar's White Label to be a vastly superior whisky to this offering. In my opinion, Aberlour 12 is inferior to Balvenie 14 Caribbean Cask, Glengoyne 10, Glenfiddich 12 and most every other single malt or blended Scotch that I've ever tried. I'll avoid this one like the plague.

Wonderfully warm and easy to drink. Great for the hip flask also!
-
I had some A'bunadh (approx 1/6 btl.) left (batch 53 at 59.7% abv) and deciddd to combine it with a bottle of the 12 which created a hybrid of approx 43-44% abv and the result was an astoundingly great dram
-
Fruity and sweet.
-
Nice rich taste, raisins come through stronger than the cinamon.
-
A very flavorful single malt but I do prefer juice that is 100 pf. & above. That being said this is my go to when I'm in the mood for a "quiet" Scotch
-
Smooth and tasty. Worth getting another bottle.
-
100% on the Notes from Billy A. Most notably, from the pages intro, I find this malt much LESS in the fruit senses than say The Glenlivet which I always love the Pear and other fruit from the Nose to the Palate. Arberlour is a Rich, Cigar Box of Natural woody flavors, where I find the Sherry maturation provides just the balance to make this a SOLID performer!
-
Beautiful taste, full bodied whiskey with hints of cinnamon, delicious evening dram
-
Best value Speyside malt at this range...well balanced and makes for a beautiful dram. Never had a bad Aberlour
