What do we think of this bottle of Aberlour whisky?

This bottle was drunk at the tail end of a very rough Bring Your Own Bottle event and still had a good hit of fruitiness. It was quite likely at the time of writing this review, my nose was shot but this usually has the smell of old distillate. The remains of this bottle went into a highball for the friend who shared it.
