Aberlour 18 Year Old Double Cask Matured Single Malt Scotch Whisky 700ml

Aberlour 18 Year Old | A Hidden Gem for Sherry Aficionados

From a legendary Speyside distillery, the long-aged flagship arrives! Aberlour 18 Year Old is the "hidden gem" no single malt explorer should miss — a focused expression of the brand's deep mastery.

Aberlour Distillery, founded in 1879 in a small town along the River Spey in Speyside, Scotland, is world-renowned for its sherry-cask maturation craft. The 18 Year Old perfectly weaves together the dual brilliance of Bourbon Cask and Sherry Cask over 18 years of slow maturation, achieving unmatched richness and roundness. The sherry cask's profound influence delivers compelling spice and licorice notes, while age contributes a robust body and raisin-driven fruit character.

Core Maturation Character | 18-Year Double Cask Craft

• Bourbon Cask Warmth:Traditional American oak bourbon casks deliver vanilla, coconut, and caramel toffee sweetness — the soft framework of Aberlour's character
• Sherry Cask Depth:Spanish sherry casks bring compelling spice, licorice, and raisin fruit; 18 years allow the sherry character to penetrate deeply, profound and lingering
• SFWSC Gold Recognition:Awarded San Francisco World Spirits Competition Gold Medal — celebrated as a rising star among truly outstanding whiskies

Tasting Notes

• Nose:Deep amber, with raisin, dried fig, caramel toffee, and licorice, alongside oak spice and crystallized ginger
• Palate:Rich and full-bodied, with sherry-driven candied red fruits, dark chocolate, and mocha layering; mid-palate brings licorice, cinnamon, and roasted nuts
• Finish:Long and warming, with sherry spice, raisin fruit, and lingering oak

Recommended Serving

• Neat:Begin with a small dram to fully experience the depth of 18 years of double-cask maturation
• With Water:A few drops of pure water release more raisin, caramel, and sherry-spice layers
