Born in 1879 in the heart of Speyside, the Aberlour distillery has embodied the deep soul of Scottish whisky for over a century. Nestled on the banks of the River Lour — which gave its name to the house — Aberlour draws from an exceptional terroir the purity of its water, the freshness of its climate, and the ancestral know-how that shape the identity of its single malts.

A land of lively water and patience

Speyside, a mythical region in the northeast of Scotland, offers Aberlour a privileged environment: granite soils, temperate forests, constant humidity. But it is especially the natural source of Ben Rinnes that gives the whisky its finesse: clear water, filtered by rock, essential for distillation and dilution before bottling.

House style

The Aberlour style is a meeting between gourmet richness and silky elegance. The whiskies are recognized for their generous notes of ripe fruits, soft spices, dark chocolate, and nuts, enhanced by masterful aging in sherry and bourbon casks. A remarkable balance between roundness, complexity, and length on the palate.

Philosophy and crafting

The distillery remains true to an artisanal philosophy, where each step is manually controlled: slow double distillation in copper stills, long and careful aging in selected casks, non-chill filtration to preserve the richness of the aromatic profile. Aberlour aims for the authenticity of taste, respecting time and raw materials.
