Aberlour V.O.H.M 10 year Old 1980’s 1 Litre Speyside

A famous and funny bottle, tying to mimic a Cognac (VSOP, of course). VOHM was meaning ‘Very Old Speyside Malt’.

Colour: Deep gold.

Nose: Lots of sherry notes, with some caramel, raisins, coffee. Very classical, not much more to say, except that these whiskies were really great.

Mouth: Strong, bold and chocolaty. Some black pepper, cocoa, vanilla cream, hints of rum and coffee liquor. Touches of caramelized carrots and beans. Hints of salt and even smoke. Very compact and satisfying.

Finish: Rather long, creamy and heathery finish.
