About Aberlour Distillery:
Aberlour single malts are usually double cask matured for at least 10 years in the finest hand-picked Oloroso Sherry butts and first-fill Bourbon casks. When selected and deemed ready for bottling, the subtly different flavors of the whisky from each type of cask are orchestrated into a distinguished range of rich, rewardingly complex single malts. Founded in 1879 in the same Scottish village producing Walkers shortbread.
