The Aberlour Distillery was founded in 1879 and is a beautiful distillery settled in a romantic setting at the foot of Ben Rinnes which is situated five miles south of Dufftown in Banffshire. The site in which Aberlour sits was an ancient distillery which produced spirit using illicit spirits many years before and was badly damaged due to neglect and fire damage.  Aberlour continues to win local and international awards making it one of the most renowned and best malts on the market. With this whisky you will experience sweetness with traces of honey and nutmeg. A warm soft whisky full of fruitiness and mouth coating delicious flavour.

Like the Aberlour 12 years old, the 16 year old is a double cask matured whisky. The flavour is influenced by using ex Bourbon American oak casks and ex sherry casks for no less than 16 years. It is bottled at 40% abv helping produce a whisky that has a more depth than the 12.
