The Aberlour Range
Most Aberlour single malts are double cask matured.
The spirit is matured separately in the best quality ex-sherry butts and ex-bourbon casks for the required period of time. When it is ready to be bottled, whisky from the two types of casks is brought together for the first time and the different flavours and textures are subtly merged.
From this intricate process of double casking emerges a single malt of rewarding complexity and character. This is a revelation for the enthusiast: a wide spectrum of flavours to discover, time after time.
12 Year Old
As with most Aberlour whisky, this 12 Year Old single malt has been matured in two types of cask. This double casking adds depth of character as well as balanced notes of fruits and spices.

Golden amber with hints of ruby red
Nose:
Very soft and rounded with fruity notes of red apples

Sherried character and fruity aromas balanced with a rich chocolate, toffee, cinnamon and ginger spiciness

Warming and lingering. Sweet and very slightly spicy
