About AberlourScotland

Aberlour distillery stands in the village of Aberlour in Speyside, where the Lour Burn meets the River Spey near Ben Rinnes. James Fleming secured the site in 1879 and produced whisky there from December 1880. After several owners, Pernod Ricard acquired Campbell Distilleries in 1975, the distillery joined Chivas Brothers in 2001, and a new visitor centre opened in 2002. Most Aberlour is aged in ex-bourbon casks, with some releases finished in sherry or other fortified wine casks. Its batch release A'bunadh, a cask strength single malt aged only in Oloroso sherry butts, was made as an attempt to recreate an 1898 bottle of Aberlour.

How to get its releasesAberlour

Aberlour sells distillery exclusive bottlings at its visitor centre shop; a 12 year old that was once a hand fill later became a distillery exclusive sold only at the distillery.

The 2020 Aberlour Cellar Collection was sold to UK customers only by calling the Aberlour Visitor Centre Shop.
