The 12 year-old expression is a fine example of how the distinctively crisp, citrus character of Aberlour’s new distillate is deftly softened by double cask maturation. Traditional Oak and seasoned Sherry butts are both used to great effect, as the mellowed spirits within are combined to deliver a subtly balanced flavour.
Colour: Golden amber with hints of ruby
Nose: Soft and rounded with fruity notes of red apple
Palate: A fine Sherried character, fruity aromas balanced with rich chocolate
Finish: Warm and lingering. Sweet and spicy
Aberlour Distillery was officially founded in 1826 by James Gordon and Peter Weir, although there is evidence of illicit distillation taking place in the area long before that. The distillery has a rich history of producing high-quality whisky. Aberlour is situated in the heart of Speyside, which is known for its abundance of distilleries and excellent water sources. The distillery draws its water from the Ben Rinnes mountain, contributing to the character of its whisky.
