Rich with Citrus Character

The Aberlour Distillery is at the heart of Speyside, the country's premier whisky-making region. Situated at the junction of the Lour and Spey Rivers, the distillery has a never-ending source of pure spring water which they utilize to create their spirits. This element, combined with hand-selected sherry casks, results in a balanced, complex spirit with a distinct flavor profile.

This expression of Aberlour 12 Year Old has been bottled omitting modern chill-filtering, allowing the whisky to retain the full flavor of the malt. A rich, fruit-forward nose of strawberry, plum, vanilla, oak and baking spice leads to a rich, full-bodied palate with bright sherry notes balanced by chocolate, toffee, cinnamon and raisin. The finish is long and slightly spicy with hints of sweetness.

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.
