That Boutique-y Whisky Company Aberlour 23 Year Old Batch 4 Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky (500ml)

Founded in 1826, Aberlour has a reputation for some seriously good single malts, both Sherried as well as creamier, vanilla-rich expressions. This is one of less than a handful of indie Aberlours that have made it to Australia. Sourced from "That Boutique-y Whisky Company", each bottling is colourfully finished with a cartoon-style label and a nod towards whimsicality. This depicts the Mash Tun whisky bar in Aberlour - though the nervous fellow peeking out of the window remains a mystery.

Batch 4 is limited to 432 bottles. Previous editions have garnered considerable praise from Whisky Advocate and Mr.Murray.

Other reviews... not a malt interested much in complexity. But the malt and muscovado show it puts on is pretty dazzling.

Notes from the bottler as follows: Nose:Juicy, creamy apple, cinnamon, apple lace sweets, apple and blackcurrant, lots of tasty apples! Palate: Just a drop of water helps to reveal the oat biscuit character of this single malt, with a little apple and pear tang never too far away. Finish: Light oak, hard pears and touches of cedar. 51% Alc./Vol.

Please note: slight cracks in the bottle's wax seal are not uncommon. This is not a packaging fault.
