Product Details
Aberlour 12 Years Old is the most popular core expression of the distillery. This single malt whisky utilizes 'Double Cask Maturation', aging for at least 12 years in both seasoned traditional oak (Bourbon) and Oloroso Sherry casks before being married together. The Bourbon casks impart delicate vanilla notes, while the Sherry casks inject rich dried fruit and spice aromas, creating a balanced and deep profile.
Read More About Brand Story
The Aberlour distillery is situated in the heart of Speyside, Scotland, with a history dating back to 1879. Founder James Fleming chose the site at the junction of the Lour Burn and the River Spey, where tradition and nature meet. Legend has it that the spring water was blessed by St. Drostan, providing a pure source for distillation.
Aberlour stays true to its motto 'Let the Deed Show', focusing on expert craftsmanship. Its most famous feature is the masterful use of Sherry casks. In this 12-year-old expression, enthusiasts can clearly feel the rich sweetness from Oloroso Sherry casks intertwined with the elegant freshness of Bourbon casks. This 'Double Cask Maturation' is not just Aberlour's signature; it represents a peak achievement in the pursuit of balance in Scotch whisky.
The distillery still retains many traditional techniques, such as sealing casks with natural materials like onion or barley husks rather than glue or nails, ensuring the liquid can breathe purely with the outside air during aging. Whether for beginners or connoisseurs, the rich yet approachable character of Aberlour 12 ensures it stands out among many Speyside whiskies.
