Aberlour 13 Year Old 2020 Distillery Reserve Collection
About Aberlour 13 Year Old 2020 Distillery Reserve Collection
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.

A dependable manufacturer-published U.S. MSRP was not located. Based on current U.S. retailer pricing, the estimated MSRP is approximately $64.99 for a 750 mL bottle. Prices between $55 and $70 represent a fair buying range, while a price below $55 is a strong purchase. Because this is a regularly produced core-range release, it does not normally command a secondary-market premium. Pricing may vary by state, retailer, taxes, and local availability.
