Aberlour Suthainn
About Aberlour Suthainn
Aberlour Suthainn is a no-age-statement travel-retail-exclusive Speyside single malt whose name means “everlasting” in Gaelic. The name refers to its adapted Solera system, through which part of the whisky from an earlier batch is retained and incorporated into subsequent releases. Aberlour combines this Solera reserve with its classic double-cask-matured whisky to maintain continuity while creating distinctive batches.

Based on these listings, approximately $80 to $110 represents a reasonable buying range.

Flavor Profile
A rich and layered Speyside single malt opening with baked blackcurrant, warm apple pie, vanilla cream, cinnamon, and a touch of marzipan. The palate develops toffee apples, pear drops, fresh strawberries, creamy oak, and butterscotch sauce, followed by warming ginger and nutmeg. The finish is sweet, creamy, and aromatic, leaving lingering sherried fruit, vanilla, cinnamon, seasoned oak, and gentle spice.
