Aberlour 18, 42.75% abv

[Quaich1]

Here are my own taste notes from the event last night:

Nose: Earthy prune essence, spice and candied orange peel, nut and nougat, cherries jubilee, Richardson's orange marmalade and the cumulative aromas of a farmer's market with meat products hanging.

Palate: Chocolate n' spice, slightly drying, oak influence and late honey burst.

Finish: Lingering spice and espresso crema, mocha with building creaminess and late oak.

Rating: 90

***A perfect dessert dram.

I do like the Aberlour 18 a regular dram for me.
