Aberlour, nestled in the heart of Speyside in the quaint town of Aberlour, is a distillery that has been synonymous with rich Scottish Single Malt Whisky since its establishment. While the labels bear the date 1879, marking the year James Fleming rebuilt the distillery post a devastating fire, Aberlour's roots trace back to 1826, founded by James Gordon and Peter Weir.
This historic distillery draws its lifeblood from the natural springs of Ben Rinnes. The water, journeying through the rugged highland terrain, gathers a unique blend of minerals, imparting a naturally soft quality to Aberlour whiskies. This softness is the cornerstone of Aberlour's smooth, delicate character, distinguishing it in the world of single malts.
Aberlour's maturation process is a testament to its commitment to flavor complexity. While most whiskies are matured in American ex-bourbon barrels, Aberlour takes a distinctive approach. The distillery also offers a range of malts that, after initial maturation in bourbon barrels, are transferred to casks previously used for aging fortified wines. This innovative double-cask maturation process enriches the whisky with nuanced layers of sweetness and spice, creating a rich tapestry of flavors that is both deep and satisfying.
Discover Aberlour, where each bottle is a celebration of Speyside's heritage, offering a unique blend of tradition and innovation. From the classic, sherry-infused richness to the innovative cask-finished expressions, Aberlour is a journey through the art of whisky making, inviting connoisseurs and newcomers alike to explore its multifaceted character.
