The story behind it

The maker

Founded by James Fleming in 1879, Aberlour was built on a site steeped in ancient history where St. Drostan used to baptize converts with local spring water. Fleming's passion for craft and community guided the distillery's rise as a premier Speyside malt producer.

How it is made

Deep in the heart of Speyside, the Aberlour distillery has been harnessing the soft spring water of nearby Ben Rinnes since its founding. The hallmark double cask maturation process utilizes finest Oloroso sherry butts alongside charred American oak barrels to impart deep complexity.
