Tasting note
- Appearance : a still-like copper.
- Nose : fine and powerful, it evokes flavours of very ripe melon. Notes of rancio and bitter orange that highlight the influence of a sherry with a great finesse.
- Palate : delicate and chiselled, it is characterised by citrus fruit (mandarin) and violet liquorice.
- Overall : light bitterness that lingers with herbaceous and lightly woody notes.

The brand
The charm of Aberlour is summed up in the magic of its setting, chosen long before distilleries were legal and probably going back to when only monks knew the secrets of distilling; in other words, to where Scotch whisky originated. Indeed, those long before us meticulously set up their stills here in order to take advantage of the spring water, filtered through the granite mass of Ben Rinnes. They then made the large Aberlour stills to capture the richest vapours of the distillate. It is also the heart of Speyside, where the rivers Spey and Lour converge; more than 1,400 years of rich history, illustrated beautifully by the mysterious stones of Fairy Hill. Find out more
