Aberlour Murray McDavid Benchmark PX Sherry Single Malt Scotch Whisky 11 Year Old · 2014 Vintage
In stock
Bottled for Murray McDavid’s Benchmark series, this Aberlour was distilled in 2014 and bottled in 2026 at 11 years old. Finished in Ximénez-Spínola Pedro Ximénez sherry casks and bottled at 57.2% ABV, it was released in an outturn of 901 bottles.
Pedro Ximénez casks are a natural fit for Aberlour’s rich Speyside style, bringing layers of dark fruit, chocolate and sweet spice while keeping the whisky’s rounded character intact. The result is a full-bodied, sherry-led dram with plenty of richness and depth, but enough structure to stay polished.
