All about Aberlour
Aberlour Distillery creates Speyside single-malt Scotch whiskey. You'll find the actual distillery in Aberlour, Scotland, near the River Spey and Lour tributary, but you needn't hop on a plane to enjoy the bottles it produces. Instead, grab a few from GotoLiquorStore at a great price and without the expensive travel.
Many of the Aberlour whiskeys come with age statements. However, the most recommended vintages are the 10, 12, 16, and 18 years, if you're looking for a fuller body and more complex flavors. Each whisky gets aged in an ex-bourbon cask, which lends even more flavor to the liquor.
If you're looking for a sweeter whiskey, try a vintage that has been aged in a wine or sherry cask. The Aberlour A'Bunadh is an excellent example. It has a creamy texture that will appeal to veteran and new whiskey connoisseurs alike. You'll detect hints of raisin and vanilla in the whiskey, so pair it with seafood, chicken, or a summer salad.
James Fleming built the Aberlour Distillery back in 1879. The company has devoted itself to using old-world processes for distilling and bottling its whiskeys, so you can trust the refinement such a long history brings to the table, or, rather, the glass.
Known for its rich Speyside character and double-cask maturation, Aberlour whiskeys blend tradition, craftsmanship, and deep flavor. Each sip captures the heart of Scotland's whiskey-making heritage - warm, complex, and beautifully balanced.
