Aberlour 16 Year
Aberlour 16 Year
James Fleming founded Aberlour Distillery in 1879, choosing a location that provided a sure supply of pure spring water that flowed over the pink granite of Ben Rinnes. The village of Aberlour lies at the very heart of Speyside, where the Lour burn joins the River Spey. Â
With the depth and complexity that comes from being matured for 16 years in a combination of American Oak casks and the finest Sherry butts, this expression's warm and fruity notes are enriched by an engagingly spicy sweetness.
