This Twelve Year Old Aberlour has been matured in two cask types. Traditional oak and Sherry oak casks. Especially selected every year, they are filled with whisky and quietly aged for a minimum of twelve years; then the casks are married together.
Traditional oak casks encourage the subtle character of Aberlour to develop, whilst Sherry oak casks add hints of ruby gold colour and a deep and rich flavour to the whisky. A perfectly balanced single malt with notes of fruits and spices.

For anyone not near a waitrose, Sainsbury's might be doing it for £26.
I'm terribly sorry, I just edited the headline as it's Ocado and not Waitrose, so should be available to everyone online. Apologies!

I love the Aberlour 10yr, but never tried this. Anyone able to give a comparison?

I have got the 12 year and I have tried the 10. The 12 has a lot more going on in terms of the depth of flavour compared to the 10. You shouldn't be disappointed.

You won't drink the '10' again.

I am by no means a connoisseur, but I've had my fair share of whisky, at a wide range of budgets, and this is one of my very favourites. Heat.

The 10 year was the only single malt I ever found undrinkable. It was just overpoweringly tasting of cut grass. I just ended up using it as a mixer.

Great tipple this one. Got a Christmas cake finish to it. Would recommend

I think this is far superior to the 10, the 10 just tastes of alcohol, with very few interesting whisky flavours. The 12 on the other hand is very respectable.

I had a bottle of this, definitely a whisky for cold nights in front of a log fire. Rich and full bodied, you really notice the influence of the Sherry cask.

Fairly priced at £25 I would say.
