Aberlour 13 Year Old Double Cask Matured
About Aberlour 13 Year Old Double Cask Matured
Aberlour 13-Year-Old Double Cask Matured is a travel-retail-exclusive Speyside single malt introduced as part of Aberlour’s refreshed airport and duty-free collection. It spends at least 13 years maturing in American oak barrels and Oloroso sherry butts. The American oak intensifies its creamy vanilla and butterscotch character, while the sherry casks contribute red fruit, jam, and spice. The result is an approachable expression built around red apple, plum, caramel, vanilla, raspberry, and ginger.

The stated launch price was £68 in UK travel retail for a 700 mL bottle. Current international airport-duty-free listings commonly fall between approximately $67.50 and $75 USD, while some market references place the bottle closer to $84. A price between $70 and $85 represents a fair purchase. Because this is an active travel-retail release, it does not currently have an established secondary-market premium. Availability and pricing can vary significantly by airport, country, taxes, exchange rates, and duty-free promotions.
