Aberlour 18. Image courtesy Chivas Brothers. The nose is soft and smooth, with dried fruits, nutmeg, a touch of oak, and hints of orange peel and toffee. The taste is sweet and peppery with white pepper, cherries, orange peel, honey, brown sugar, raisins, and toffee notes. The smooth finish has toffee and lingering cinnamon, along with honey and nutmeg. (December, 2013)
