A dreamy, smooth Speysider to bow to the forest.
The waters in these parts of Speyside are known not only for their purity but also for their healing powers according to druid priests that lived there in times of the Celts. Later, they used the same water to baptise them into Christianity. So it is no wonder they used nature's best and produced a fantastic product. What better thing to make from water than Whisky!?
True to this legacy and heritage, young James Fleming, a farmer's son who supplied grain to local distilleries had a dream to build a perfect distillery in the 19th century. A daring modernist as he was, he did not let anything differ from his expectations. And his dream of the perfect dram lives to this day, in the Aberlour Distillery.
Aberlour 10 Year Old Forest Reserve is matured in a combination of ex-Bourbon and ex-Sherry barrels from Jerez before it was finished in French Limousin oak casks. This 10YO dram was named as a bow to the distillery’s commitment to preserve the Speyside forests. (Also very important for great Whisky and a bunch of other things!) A dreamy Speysider with smooth flavors of sweet toffee, praline, and plump raisin, paired with vanilla oak and dried herbs.
