Aberlour 12 Year 750 ml

Aberlour 12 Year is a single malt Scotch whisky from the Aberlour distillery in Speyside, Scotland, matured in a combination of ex-bourbon and ex-sherry oak casks — the house calls this double cask maturation. That mix of barrels is why the whisky leans both nutty and fruity: honey, toffee, and baked apple on the nose, dried fruit and spice from the sherry casks across the palate, and a warm, gently spiced finish. Bottled at 40% ABV, it's built as an everyday sipping Speyside rather than a peated or heavily sherried bottle. It suits drinkers who want classic Speyside sweetness without committing to a full sherry-bomb whisky.

How to drink Aberlour 12 Year

A splash of still water opens the sherry-cask fruit more than ice does, which tends to mute Speyside whiskies like this one. It's also a solid base for a whisky and ginger ale if you want something lighter on a warm evening.
