The incredible burn is a bit much, but this is probably the best example of Aberlour's house style once a bit of water is added.

I've heard this is one of the biggest sherry-bombs out there--confirm?
Oh yeah. While I am by no means an expert with a huge sampling array, it's one of the most sherrish I've had.
From Michael Jackson's book, the description:
"All sherry-ageing with an emphasis on second-fill dry oloroso."
