Aberlour 12 yr

Aberlour Single Malt was born in the Speyside village of Aberlour, made with local spring water from the Ben Rinnes and barley now locally sourced from the fields of our distillery. Aberlour specialises in double cask maturation, with whiskies matured in Oloroso sherry and American oak casks that are then combined to impart depth, complexity and character.

The distillery uses four pot stills in its double distillation process to produce its new make spirit. With the pear shape, the pot and the conical neck have the classic design. With no constriction or reflux bowls in the neck and the lyne arm facing downwards you would expect a very strong and intense distillery character which you don't get. So this leads to how fast Aberlour distills its spirits, the gentle sweet and calm nature of this 12 shows what a very slow distillation process will create.
