  Pleasant sherry characters in the nose, caramel, candied and dried fruits, toffees, and white peppers; bitter, creamy, fruity, oaky, and peppery on the palate; long and somewhat hot finish; overall, 87-88 points; a bit too much bitter oak to my taste and therefore not my type of young sherried whisky.

  The color here is a clear but average intensity gold. The heavy, glazed legs flaunt a high alcohol. The rim becomes watery midway. The aromas are still in the works: young and mild, reminding me of honey, caramel, orange candies, even strawberry, with a slight cigarette edge from ten years of oak aging.
  
  The structure is average, with enough bitterness, body, and alcoholic warmth to keep your attention. In retrospect, Aberlour seems a bit thin when compared to Macallan’s 10 Year. The flavors are delayed, with medium intensity roasted vanilla coffee creamer, orange sorbet, caramel, with a slight toffee spice that finishes the show, lingering for a medium length.
  
  Aberlour’s 10 year was a wonderful first love. It was extremely smooth, with measured vanilla oak spice, bright fruit, and seeming sweetness. I stared at it endlessly, trying to tease out any deeper complexity. All I found was warm, simple, superficial delight. It’s a solid good: 3 out of 5 points.

  This was just way over finished. Sherry (?) blew over all the malt.
