Aberlour 16 Year Double Cask Scotch Whisky

Single Malt Scotch Whisky | 40% ABV (80 Proof) | 750 mL | Speyside, Scotland | 16 Years Aged | Double Cask Matured

Process & Profile

Aberlour 16 Year Double Cask Scotch Whisky is produced in Speyside, Scotland, and matured using a dual-cask strategy. The whisky first rests in traditional American oak barrels, lending vanilla, honey, and soft oak character. It is then finished in Oloroso sherry butts, which add depth, dried fruit sweetness, and warm spice. After a full 16 years of aging, both cask types are brought together to create a balanced and richly layered single malt that showcases Aberlour’s signature sherried complexity.

Nose: Floral aromatics with raisin sweetness, warm spice, and polished oak.
