Aberlour Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky (1990's Bottling) 10 Year Old
Out of stock
The St. Drostan's Well, found in the grounds of the Aberlour Distillery, marked the source of an exceptionally pure spring. This historic granite stone hints to an ancient past when a druid community occupied the small valley where the Aberlour distillery is found today. Indeed, the name Aberlour comes from the Gaelic translation of 'Mouth of the Chattering Burn'.
This site in Aberlour was the inspiration for James Fleming to build a disilery in 1819. A quiet, unassuming man, James Fleming was a philanthropist in the truest sense of the term and his unobtrusive generosity left a lasting mark on the village of Aberlour. He lived up to his family motto "Let the Deed Show" which appears on the bottle today.
The purity of the spring water and richness of the natural environment drew Tounder is reflected in the generosity of this exceptional Speyside whisky.
Aberlour Single Malt achieves a remarkable harmony marrying subtle aromas of spice - cinnamon and nutmeg - with hints of autumn fruits.Aberlour has been recognised at the International Wine and Spirit Competicion and has three times been awarded their prestigious gold medal.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with coppery glints and a mahogany edge, a warm, burnished glow that hints at sherry influence.
Nose
Subtle aromas of spice, cinnamon and nutmeg, intertwine with hints of autumn fruits, a poised, inviting nose that promises a balanced Speyside profile.
Palate
Silky and balanced on the palate, with a gentle warmth of spice—cinnamon and nutmeg—woven through autumn fruit sweetness. Creamy toffee and dried fruit mingle with a soft sherry influence, while subtle oak offers quiet structure. A lingering finish of spice and fruit leaves a refined, indulgent impression.
Finish
Long and warming, the finish lingers with cinnamon and nutmeg, interwoven with autumn fruit. A soft sherry sweetness and subtle oak drift away on a creamy, lasting warmth, leaving the palate soothed by the balanced harmony of this Speyside dram.
