Aberlour

Q: What style of whisky is Aberlour?

Aberlour is a Speyside single malt famous for sherry-cask maturation — expect a rich, rounded style with raisin, apricot, honey and warming spice rather than smoke. It's one of the classic 'sherried' Scotch names.

Q: What does Double Cask mean?

Double Cask whiskies mature in two cask types — American oak ex-bourbon for vanilla and orchard fruit, and Spanish ex-sherry butts for dried fruit and spice — before being married together. Aberlour's 14, 16 and 18 Year Olds all use this approach.

Q: How should Aberlour be served?

Neat, in a tulip-shaped glass that funnels the aromas, with a teaspoon of water if you like it more open. No ice needed — sherried Speysides show best just below room temperature.

Aberlour is Speyside's sherry-cask specialist — rich, rounded single malts layered with dried fruit, warm spice and a generous Highland welcome.

Founded in 1879 where the Lour burn meets the Spey, Aberlour has made its name on generous sherry-cask maturation — whiskies full of Christmas-cake fruit, honey and gentle spice. Our range runs from the welcoming 10 Year Old to the special-occasion 18.

Which Aberlour should I choose?

The 10 Year Old is a superb first dram. The 12 Year Old deepens the sherry influence, while the Double Cask 14, 16 and 18 Year Olds balance bourbon brightness with sherry richness for something properly special.

How to serve Aberlour

Neat in a tulip glass, with a few drops of water to open the fruit and spice. It's an after-dinner whisky by nature — pair with dark chocolate, tablet or simply a good chair.
