It offers a rich and fruity profile with vanilla, caramel, cherry, red apple, and spicy notes. The palate is characterized by toffee, cinnamon, ginger, plums, and raisins, providing a smooth and approachable drinking experience. While not overly complex, it is a crowd-pleasing whiskey suitable for both beginners and enthusiasts, delivering great value at its price point.

It's full Cherry, Rich, fruity but this red apple, no it's darker fruits, the Cherry shows full Aroma, little sweetness on top.

It's definitely sweet, it's got that sherry notes to it, it's a cherry bomb. It definitely belongs in every cabinet.

Straight away I'm getting something like demerara sugar, a touch of raisins, and then this alcohol tone begins to come through.

Vanilla and sherry up front, caramel, baking spices, cinnamon, oak, fresh apples, Christmas cake, and a hint of chocolate oatmeal. It's not too expensive, it can be very good, and it's worth trying.

Medium intense aromas of bourbon notes with vanilla, caramel, and a nice spicy note from the Sherry cask. I think it's actually a really nice whiskey and at a decent price.

Aberlour 12 year old whisky review #063
I find it's a touch thin, a little too easy. It's not really meant to be engaging in the way that I perhaps would like it.

"For whisky drinkers..." | Aberlour 12 (48%) REVIEW
At its best, this is a beautiful entry-level sherried banger. It's complex, interesting, spicy, intricate, and has its own character. It's pretty good and worth trying.
