Product Description

Aberlour Whisky was born in the Speyside village of Aberlour, made with local spring water from the ben rinnes and barely, now locally sourced from the fields near our distillery. Let the casks add depth We mature this single malt in two different casks: American oak and Spanish sherry. Their rich flavours infuse over time. Let the Time Pass After twelve years, our craftsmen bring the spirits in both casks together. This is an art, not a science, to get just the right balance of depth and flavour. Let the Deed Show As our founder, James Fleming, knew back in 1879, the truth is always in the tasting. The look is golden amber, with a little ruby red. The aroma is soft and rounded, with red apples. The taste is sherried, with chocolate, toffee, cinnamon and ginger. The finish is lingering, sweet and warm with a little spice. The deed is in the tasting.

What critics and judges wrote

IWSC judges · Gold · 2026
Moreish and inviting, this spirit opens with aromas of bright fruit and freshly baked sponge cake … Tropical green bananas and juicy passionfruit emerge on the palate, leading to a rich undercurrent of dark chocolate and leather.

Oak and smoke character with undertones of orchard fruits and orange pith on the finish. Hints of toffee and honeysuckle.
Silver · 94 pts2024iwsc.net ↗
Aromas of fruit and oak give way to an unexpectedly hot palate with big hay and floral notes. Finishes short with a delightful mix of spices, sherry, toffee, and dates.
Silver2022iwsc.net ↗
A soft delivery with complexity building to deliver a dessert in a dram: poached pears served with vanilla and white chocolate custard sprinkled with toasted almonds.
Gold2017iwsc.net ↗
Toasted almonds on the nose, with pine nuts and sherry goodness too. … The palate delivers a rich sweetness of creme brluee topping, heather and honey and this gives a rounded, sweet finish of oak and dark sugars.
Wine Enthusiast · Kara Newman · December 2023
Caramel and a hint of campfire smoke introduce this single malt Scotch. Adding water coaxes drier oak and cocoa powder tones, fading into an orange peel exhale with a final puff of smoke.

… this enticing Scotch has a ripe red-apple scent and rich salted caramel and butterscotch on the palate. It's powerful, with a thick, buttery feel and a long finish of lip-smacking spice cake and sea brine notes.

Falstaff · August 2019
Fruity with stewed apples, some orange and peach. The malt notes are stronger on the palate and the fruit comes to the fore again. Yeasty cereal-scented aromas towards the finish. Medium length.

Distiller · Stephanie Moreno
The dark sherried notes come through on the nose, but also checking in for a visit are honey, orange peels, and cooked apples. Some dark chocolate and cinnamon appear and chewy oak tannins arrive fashionably late to the party.

Flavor scores are our estimates. A flavor scores higher when more critics mention it and when they describe it more strongly, so no single review sets the result. They are not a rating from any publication.
