Aberlour – 10 Year Old Forest Reserve Single Malt

Here we have Forest Reserve, a 10 Year Old single malt from Aberlour distillery! It spent most of its ageing in bourbon barrels and sherry casks from Jerez, before it was treated to a finish in French Limousin oak casks. It’s called Forest Reserve as a nod to the commitment of the distillery to conserving the forest in the Speyside region, where the distillery resides.

Aromas of lemon blossom, orange peel, strawberry jam, vanilla and fresh, spicy oak fill the nose. The palate offers notes of sweet melon, toffee, walnuts, raisins, vanilla and dried herbs.
