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.

Five Lions Aberlour 8-Year-Old, First-Fill Oloroso Sherry Scotch Whisky Tasting Notes

Nose: Hits the nose with a nose with an interestingly sour mix of spice and citrus, like a tart with a lot of lemon, a punch of ginger and a hint of flowers in the background.

Palate: While the first sip hits the tongue like a pleasantly floral honey, that lasts for barely a moment before sharply snapping into a very potently spicy character, primarily with notes of clove and pepper.

Finish: The finish is long and oaky with touches of toffee and caramel.
