Founded in 1879, Aberlour doubled its production capacity in 1973, moving from two to four stills. A year later, the distillery joined the Pernod Ricard group. In response to ever-increasing demand, an ambitious expansion project to double its production capacity once again was unveiled in spring 2022. This outstanding version was matured in a first-fill bourbon cask and embodies the wonderfully malty and fruity style so characteristic of Speyside’s greatest single malts. Filled with exoticism and superbly pared down, the palette of flavours and aromas also suggests a very high-quality Irish whiskey.

Nose : Refined, complex. On the first nose, notes of cut hay appear alongside vanilla, candied lemon and William’s pear. Allowed to breathe, a fine layer of liquorice, noble spices (cardamom, clove), white florals (lily of the valley, lilac) and coconut milk enrich the aroma palette.

Appearance : Or vif.

Palate : Clean, elegant. The exotic (pineapple, kiwi, banana) and mineral (chalk) attack help highlight medicinal (ointment) and mentholated notes. The rich mid-palate returns creamily to the vanilla notes found on the nose (flan, cream). The end of the palate is smoothly liquorice (stick).

Overall : Long, serene. Maintaining a few medicinal touches, the start of the finish is wonderfully malty. Keeping that same lovely vegetal aspect, the after-taste reveals abundant aromatic plants (rosemary, savory, sage). At the end of the finish, fresh fruits (apple, pear) release a sweet and tangy juice onto the palate.
