Review:

I was introduced to Aberlour 12 year but the girlfriend of a coworker who said it was her go to whiskey. I offered her some Glenrothes 10 year which she enjoyed but it sparked my interest. $55 for a 12 year old scotch seems like a bargain to me and this whiskey offers sweet and rich aroma and taste despite its low proof point. If you are a fan of easy drinking Spey side whiskies or want to explore the non-smoky side of Scottland, this may be a bottle worth picking up. Cheers!

My Rating: Stock it!

May the miles you hike be filled with wonder and the glasses you raise be filled with whiskey.

Cheers!

Rating scale:

-Spit: Don’t bother with this one. If a friend gives you a dram of it, are they even your friend?

-Shoot: Good enough to get you drunk.

-Sip: Tasty enough to enjoy neat or on the rocks.

-Stock: I’d recommend keeping a bottle on hand.
