Aberlour Distillery

Aberlour Distillery is a renowned Scotch whisky distillery located in the heart of the Scottish Highlands. Founded in 1879 by James Fleming, the distillery is known for producing some of the finest single malt whiskies in the world. Aberlour is derived from the Gaelic words “Aber” meaning “mouth of the chattering burn” and “lour” meaning “babbling brook”, referring to the pure, clear water source that is an essential ingredient in the whisky making process.

Aberlour is famous for its use of double cask maturation, a process where the whisky is matured in two types of casks – American oak ex-bourbon barrels and Spanish oak ex-sherry butts. This double maturation gives Aberlour whiskies a unique and complex flavor profile, with notes of honey, vanilla, spice, and dark fruit. The distillery produces a range of whiskies including the signature Aberlour Double Cask Matured, Aberlour A'bunadh, and Aberlour 18 Year Old.

Aberlour is committed to sustainability and uses renewable energy sources to power the distillation process.
