Tasting Notes

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.

I see from the notes that under "smoke" the rating is 0. I find that hard in that I find a West coast smoke, which is unpleasant - is it just my taste buds? I have been an avid Speyside man for 40 years.
-
Very easy to drink, smooth buttery feel. Taste is sweet with a hint of spice. Over the past 2 or 3 years I have gotten into drinking and appreciating whiskies. And this, in my opinion, is very nice to drink.

Very smooth whisky

Received it as a gift and I'm happy chap. Light and sweet chocolate and vanilla flavours. Want to explore more Aberlour.

Outstanding
-
Aberlour 12 year old is my every day "go to" single malt. It is refreshing, has tasteful body with complimentary flavors and is not outrageously priced.
-
I've tried, and tried, but... I think this is one of the dullest whiskeys I drank up 'til now. Absolutely nothing special or mentionable.
-
Tried this one at a whiskey show last spring and since have made sure to always have a bottle in my house. It's sweet at first, but once you get to know it you start to taste interesting spice in the background. Would recommend this whiskey to anybody.
-
Wonderful drink. I'm partial to the smoky Scotch but this is a great departure. Excellent!
-
Aberlour 12 had some tough competition at the time we first tried it, since we also got a bottle of Lagavulin 16 the same day. And yet ever since, this sweet and pleasant but rather simple scotch has never really stood out to us all that much, even though we've gone through much of the bottle. I saw it on sale at a screaming deal of $32 at the grocery store, but didn't think it was worth buying when for a few dollars more I could get something I liked better. At least this is preferable to the similarly sherried Macallan 12, which I think needs a little water. Peat has always been more of our thing than sherry, but I nonetheless want to try Aberlour A'bundah eventually.

Excellent... must try for all.

Pure velvet

love this as a nightcap after a long day.
-
Great balance between spicy and sweet.
-
Love it, really nice. A smooth criminal, Eeee Heee!!
-
It is so smooth and has an amazing taste. Definitely worth its price, smoothness can compete with soctchs that are 3 times the price
-
Nice, a little sweet, some spices, no peat. Nothing you'll remember for ages, nothing special in fact, but the same time pretty good, tasty, good value for the money. Pleasant, definitely not the "Love-it-or-hate-it"-type. The Ford Mondeo among the Single Malts. In fact it's 3 1/2 stars.
-
An inoffensive and somewhat unclear nose, but to my taste clear and sweat, with a bit of peaty-heat to its afterfinish.
-
A pleasant nose and palate for a non-peated dram. Good for those who don't yet have a taste for peated scotch.
-
So smooth, really enjoyed the smell and taste.
