Not bad but you should just buy Abunadh.

where did that awesome cork coaster go? 🤔🤔🤔

Aberlour 18 / 43% ABV

Tasted neat, while watching HIMYM

I received this as a gift, and while it’s not as much of a banger as Abunadh, it’s quite nice!

  • Color: golden-brown
  • Nose: alcohol, cream, sandalwood, fresh-cut grass
  • Taste: oaky, vanilla, well-rounded cake
  • Finish: delicious, long sweet coffee

I prefer the 12 NCF and Abunadh, but the 18 is a nice late-night dram. It’s warm, darker than a Macallan, less sherried and more toasted oak, but with sharper edges and hints of new oak.

Rating: 84/100
