Aberlour 18 Year Old Speyside single malt Scotch whisky. Matured in ex-bourbon and Oloroso Sherry oak casks.

Aberlour

Aberlour Distillery was founded in 1826 in the town of Aberlour in Scotlands Speyside whisky region and is situated on the northern edge of Ben Rinnes mountain which accumulates snow and rainwater across its peaty moors and supplies cold, soft spring water to the distillery. Around a half of the spirit produced from Aberlours four copper stills is destined for single malts whilst much of the rest contributes to the Chivas brands of blended scotch. Aberlour malt whisky is matured in ex-sherry and ex-bourbon casks and Aberlour Abunadh single malt whisky has matured solely in sherry casks. Aberlour Distillery has a visitor centre offering a distillery tour and is an established participant in the popular Spirit of Speyside Whisky Festival.

Nose: Rich and complex, with notes of toffee and butterscotch combining with ripe peach and bitter orange.

Palate: Superbly structured, with initial notes of soft apricot and cream, offset by developing flavours of old leather and oak, with a touch of honey.

Finish: Very long and well balanced, progressing from crme brule to a gentle oak flourish.
