Aberlour Single Malt
Encyclopedia : A : AB : ABE : Aberlour Single Malt
Aberlour is a distiller of single malt Scotch whisky, located on Aberlour town, Speyside, Scotland at the crossing of rivers Lour and Spey near Ben Rinnes.
The whisky comes in 10, 12, 15 and 30-year varieties, and some of the variants are aged in American ex-bourbon casks. Aberlour also releases a range of malts that, after ageing in bourbon casks, are transferred to casks that have been used previously to mature a sort of wine. This process is known as finishing, and Aberlour offers whisky finished in sherry, port wine, madeira, and burgundy casks.
Aberlour distillery was founded in 1879 by James Fleming (1830-1895). In 1898, a fire consumed several of the distillery buildings and most of the whisky reservoirs, but eventually the site was rebuilt.
