Aberlour 12 Year Old Double Cask Matured
About Aberlour 12 Year Old Double Cask Matured
Aberlour 12-Year-Old Double Cask Matured is the approachable entry point into Aberlour’s core range. The whisky is matured for at least 12 years in two types of oak casks, combining the vanilla and orchard-fruit character of American or traditional oak with the richer fruit and spice contributed by sherry-seasoned butts. The result is a balanced, gently sherried Speyside single malt suited to both newer Scotch drinkers and experienced whisky enthusiasts.
