Product description
Aberlour is a picturesque distillery based in the heart of Speyside, in the village with which it shares its name, and has been owned by Pernod Ricard since 1974.
It was the first Scottish distillery purchased by the French corporation, which is currently the world's second largest whisky producer. Aberlour has been in the top ten most popular single malts for years, and in 2022 it recorded sales of 3.9 million bottles, which gave it eighth place in the ranking. While most official editions are based largely on distillates aged in sherry casks, the White Oak presented here comes exclusively from bourbon casks. It debuted in 2012 and has been available on the market in vintage versions since then. The 2012 Vintage presented here was included in the offer in 2022.
