Aberlour 12 Year Old is a Speyside single malt Scotch whisky produced by Aberlour Distillery. It is widely recognized as one of the distillery's signature expressions, valued for balancing rich sherry-cask character with the lighter fruit and honey notes typical of the Speyside style.
Matured using a double cask approach, combining traditional oak casks with sherry-seasoned casks, develops layers of dried fruit, toffee, spice, and oak, while preserving the distillery's characteristic orchard-fruit sweetness and smooth texture. The balance between fruit, spice, and sherry influence makes it approachable for newcomers while remaining interesting to experienced whisky drinkers.
