Photo ©2015 by Mark Gillespie.This batch of Aberlour’s original sherry bomb is bottled at 59.6% ABV, and the nose is rich, thick, and fruity with notes of baked orange, apricots, peach pie with a graham cracker pie crust, fig cookies, and a hint of shortbread in the background. The taste is fruity and spicy with with cardamom and curry powder balanced by orange peel, clove, apricots, and dates. The finish is long, spicy, and fruity. Amazing as always! (July, 2015)
