The Story of Aberlour Distillery
Aberlour is located in the heart of Speyside, one of Scotland’s most famous whisky-producing regions. The village takes its name from the surrounding natural landscape, while the distillery’s history dates back to 1879, when James Fleming established Aberlour Distillery. The exceptionally pure spring water associated with St. Drostan’s Well played an important role in Fleming’s vision for producing whisky of distinctive character.
Today, the combination of Speyside’s natural environment and soft, pure water continues to define the character associated with Aberlour single malt Scotch whisky. Furthermore, careful maturation in both traditional oak and Sherry oak casks adds layers of fruit, sweetness and gentle spice to the spirit.
A Smooth and Balanced Speyside Whisky
In the glass, Aberlour 10 Year Old displays an attractive golden colour. On the nose, it presents dry yet fresh and fruity aromas, with notes of early autumn apples and pears. These delicate fruit characteristics are complemented by sweet vanilla and hints of mint toffee, creating an inviting and expressive aroma.
On the palate, this 10 Year Old Aberlour is exceptionally smooth and creamy. Fresh autumn fruits combine with honey and spicy-sweet nutmeg, producing a harmonious balance between sweetness, fruitiness and gentle spice. The influence of Sherry oak contributes additional richness, while traditional oak helps retain the whisky’s fresh and approachable character.
Long, Soft and Warming Finish
The finish is long, soft and warming, leaving a pleasant combination of fruit, honeyed sweetness and subtle spice. Consequently, Aberlour 10 Year Old works equally well as a relaxed sipping whisky or as a thoughtful choice for those exploring Speyside single malts.
