Aberlour 16 Year Old Double Cask
This 16 year old single malt Scotch from the Speyside distiller Aberlour has been double cask matured in American oak casks and then sherry casks to create a smooth, full flavour with just the right balance of fruitiness and oakiness. Floral aromas with a touch of spicy nuttiness. The palate is sherried with floral, spice, fruit and oak that lead to a long and warming finish.
The Glenlivet 18 Year Old
The Glenlivet Distillery roots can be traced back to 1815 but it is well known that illicit distilling was going on long before then. In 1817 George Smith leased some land at Upper Drumin Farm, he continued illicit distilling to supplement his crofters wage. During 1823 an Excise Act was pushed through by the Duke of Gordon - Smiths's landlord - to stop illicit distilling. Gordon then persuaded Smith to take out the first licence and he also helped to set up the distillery at Drumin. Due to the success of Glenlivet, a number of distilleries in the region appended the name Glenlivet to their own. In 1880 J.G. Smith took legal action and the court ruled that there was only one "The Glenlivet". Distillery bottling.
