  Sweet and good

  One of my favourites. Not a huge difference from the 12 but just that little bit smoother and rounder. I like most of the Aberlours as they do not kick back but leave a warm and soft honeyed after taste.

  Still available nowadays in France, I'd bought 2 bottles of this 43% version (bottling date : June 11, 2018). It's a real bargain. It's not that complex but with a drop or two of Vittel the aromas emphasise.

  I found a store who still had these for $80, and bought all 4. Glad I did, can’t find them for under $150 now. And let me tell you, they are wonderful. So smooth. Floral notes with vanilla and Carmel. I’ve been tasting a lot of fine scotches lately, and this is for sure one of my favorites. I give it a 93/100

  I am a novice when it comes to Scotch but I am beginning to get an appreciation for the various tastes of the many different Scotches and the Abelour 16 is quite good. I highly recommend it

  Phenomenal whisky for the price. The only TRULY double oak matured whisky worth the investment.

  Glorious smooth raisinny taste with a long sweet subtle finish.

• Graham L 27 January 2014

  I purchased a bottle of this recently from TWE and have to say it is a pleasant dram but really quite one dimensional. Smooth and with a honey sweetness, not a lot more I can say really. My bottle was 40%ABV not the 43%ABV stated in the listing. Maybe this is partly responsible for the lack of depth in this whisky. Average.

  The Aberlour 16yr is a genuine bargain and one that I can highly recommend. It's nothing like the 10yr, so much richer and deeper. There is no shortage of that Speyside sherried sweetness but it doesn't dominate and the taste is complex, balanced, fruity and long. Many say the Aberlour 10yr is a beginners whisky, I say the 16yr is a lesson everyone should learn.

  For me this is an excellent Speysider, I won't go into detailed tasting notes as I don't want to influence the palate of the next person who tries it too much, however, I just had to mention the rum and raisin fudge and Christmas cake notes that seem to carry right through from nose to finish, fantastic! The rest I will leave up to you to decide.

  Previous Islay loyal, this changes the game. Try with a Padron 45 or 46. You in heaven

• Ray 11 December 2012

  The richness in flavors blew me away, savor it at the back of your tongue and you'll think you're in heaven. Haven't found a better whisky so far.

  Superb malt, full of aromas, with depth and subtelty! My choice for the end of the world:)

• mark brailsford 3 December 2011

  superb stuff, really nice and spicy. I never understand why malt ''snobs'' give aberlour a miss!

• Mikko 18 March 2011

  One of the smoothest deliveries in single malts. A very silky, honeyed and fruity mouth feel. The finish is long and smooth unlike 10 year old. Still, this one loses some of the amazing bourbon-sherry duality of Aberlour 10 year old.

• D.Scott. 19 August 2009

  This is my all time favorite single malt. I couldnt taste it at the time as i was at work but passing through back to falkirk. Im glad i bought it and waited till i got home. WOW i wasnt disapointed. What a whisky. I'll be back for more very soon.

  A much more rounded version of the 12 year double cask matured. The extra four years bring out a more honey and floral taste. The sherry overtone that was dominant in the 12 year old is now a background player at best, leaving a soothing feel on the palate that finishes with a spiced fruitiness kissed with honey
