Aberlour Distillery –
Speyside Single Malt since 1826
In Charlestown of Aberlour , nestled in Speyside between Livet and Spey, the Aberlour Distillery has been producing single malt whisky since 1826. Founded by James Gordon and Peter Weir, the distillery has survived fires, changes of ownership, and decades of history – and is now part of Chivas Brothers under the Pernod Ricard umbrella. What has remained constant is the focus on handcrafted single malts that reflect the character of the region.
At the heart of the Aberlour philosophy is maturation in sherry casks. Ex-Oloroso and ex-Pedro Ximénez casks impart notes of dried fruit, walnut, and a hint of dark chocolate to the wines – a style that consistently carries on the Speyside tradition of fruit-forward, approachable malts. The Aberlour 10 Year Old, for example, spends its entire maturation period in ex-sherry casks and demonstrates just how much depth a decade of patience can bring to good wood.
Anyone looking for an introduction to the world of Scottish single malts or wanting to get to know the classic Speyside style will find reliable guidance at Aberlour – neat in a nosing glass or with a drop of water to open up the aromas.
