Product Details
Aberlour 12 Years Old is the most popular core expression of the distillery. This single malt whisky utilizes 'Double Cask Maturation', aging in selected traditional oak (bourbon) and Oloroso sherry casks for at least 12 years before being married. The bourbon casks impart delicate vanilla notes, while the sherry casks infuse rich dried fruit and spice, resulting in a balanced and deeply layered profile.
Read More Brand Story
The Aberlour distillery is situated in the heart of Speyside, with a history dating back to 1879. Founder James Fleming chose a 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 once blessed by St. Drostan, providing a pure source for whisky production.
Aberlour consistently adheres to the motto 'Let the Deed Show', focusing on exquisite craftsmanship. Its most famous characteristic is the masterful use of sherry casks. In this 12-year-old expression, enthusiasts can clearly taste the rich sweetness from Olorour sherry casks interlaced with the elegant freshness of bourbon casks. This 'Double Cask Maturation' is not just Aberlour's signature but represents a peak achievement in the pursuit of balance in Scotch whisky.
The distillery still retains many traditional techniques, such as sealing casks without glue or metal nails, using natural onion or barley husks instead to ensure the spirit breathes purely during maturation. Whether for beginners or connoisseurs, the rich yet approachable nature of Aberlour 12 Years Old ensures it stands out among Speyside whiskies.
