Product Details
Aberlour 18 Years Old Single Malt Whisky is a member of the distillery's high-end core range. Its unique 'Double Cask' maturation technique allows the spirit to spend 18 long years in premium sherry butts, absorbing rich fruit and spice nuances. This expression is not only exceptionally smooth on the palate but also displays a deep mahogany hue, making it one of the best choices for appreciating Speyside sherry-style whisky.
Read More About the Brand Story
Aberlour Distillery is situated in the village of Aberlour, located in the heart of Scotland's Speyside region. Founded by James Fleming in 1879, the site was chosen precisely where the mountain spring waters flowing from Ben Rinnes converge. The name Aberlour means 'Mouth of the Stream' in Gaelic, symbolizing the pure contribution of the water source to the spirit's quality.
The distillery consistently adheres to traditional craftsmanship, especially its famous 'Double Cask' maturation technique. The Aberlour 18 Years Old was previously a reserved edition for limited markets like France, but due to its outstanding depth and complexity, it was later widely released globally. Unlike the typical lighter Speyside style, Aberlour pursues a more robust and creamy body, largely attributed to its short and wide still design, which retains more heavy flavor molecules. The 18-year aging process transforms the originally vibrant fruitiness into deep notes of dried fruit and spice, perfectly interpreting the elegance and power of Speyside whisky.
