Aberlour Glenlivet 12 Year Old, Sherry Cask, 40%

A Maltiply member's tasting notes and whisky impression.

87 / 100

This reads as a dessert-leaning Speyside malt, with sherry and dried fruit giving the caramel and brûléed-sugar notes a useful counterpoint. The warm, creamy palate sounds especially appealing, while the medium-length finish keeps the impression measured rather than sprawling. The SGD 224.06 selling-price reference is worth weighing against that character, but the number alone doesn’t establish good value. Overall, it looks like a well-focused, sweet-leaning choice for someone who enjoys sherry-led malt.
