Founded in 1879 by James Fleming, the ABERLOUR distillery is located in Scotland, in the heart of the Speyside region. The legacy of centuries of expertise, ABERLOUR is distinguished by its balance, roundness and finely fruity flavors. 19 gold medals* have rewarded its rich, authentic character, the fruit of double maturation in Bourbon and Sherry casks.
As the year draws to a close, ABERLOUR pays tribute to its unique expertise. The distillery reveals a prestigious collection of exceptional Vintages, the fruit of a selection from the finest casks. Bottled at cask strength and not chill-filtered, four Single Malts are revealed. Pure expression of the style ABERLOUR.
