Aberlour 16 Year Old Double Cask Matured
About Aberlour 16 Year Old Double Cask Matured
Aberlour 16-Year-Old Double Cask Matured combines whisky aged in American oak with whisky matured in Spanish oak Oloroso sherry butts. The additional aging gives it greater depth and oak influence than Aberlour 12 and 14 while retaining the distillery’s approachable, fruit-forward character. Raisin, ripe plum, floral sweetness, toasted nuts, and warming spice form the center of its profile.

A dependable manufacturer-published U.S. MSRP was not located. Based on current U.S. retailer pricing, the estimated MSRP is approximately $124.99 for a 750 mL bottle. Prices between $110 and $130 represent a fair buying range, while a price below $110 is a strong purchase. Prices above approximately $140 are difficult to justify under normal availability. This regularly produced expression does not normally command a secondary-market premium.
