Five Lions Aberlour 8
Country: Scotland
Region: Speyside
Type: Single Malt
Bottler: Scotch Universe GMBH/Five Lions
ABV: 57.9%
Score: 90 Points
This single cask Aberlour independent bottling comes from a first-fill Oloroso Sherry hogshead cask, and the nose has notes of maple syrup, toffee, caramel, vanilla, and touches of dried apricots and peaches. The taste is thick and chewy with oak tannins, toffee, caramel, and a hint of clove. The finish is long and oaky with touches of toffee and caramel. (December, 2018)
