Aberlour 18 Yr Double Cask Single Malt Scotch Whisky 750ml

Aberlour 18 Yr Double Cask Single Malt Scotch Whisky 750ml

Situated at the confluence of the Lour and Spey Rivers in Strathspey,

Aberlour Single Malt Whisky is made exclusively from Scottish barley, which is malted for approximately seven days before being dried above an unpeated kiln. Once the barley has been dried, it is milled and mashed with water drawn from St. Drostan’s Well. The well, which has been the distillery’s source for water for over a century, was named after a missionary who used water from the well to baptise inhabitants in 580 AD. After the barley has been mashed, it is fermented before being twice-distilled through Aberlour’s copper-pot stills. The still’s enjoy broad bases to expose as much direct heat as possible to the wash, and are equipped with swan-shaped necks which capture only the most pure vapors during distillation.

Tasting Notes:

Rich aroma of toffee and butterscotch, along with hints of peaches and orange. Perfect body, with notes of soft apricots, vanilla cream, red fruits, old leather and rich tobacco on the palate and an endlessly complex, balanced finish.
