Description

The Aberlour 18 Years Old Double Sherry Cask Finish Batch No. 007 is an exclusive Speyside single malt Scotch whisky that combines the traditional craftsmanship of the Aberlour Distillery with a particularly intense sherry cask finish. The distillery is situated at the foot of Ben Rinnes in Speyside, Scotland, and is renowned for whiskies characterised by pronounced cask maturation, depth and elegant fruitiness. This 18-year-old single malt whisky is bottled at 43% ABV in a 0.7-litre bottle, complete with a gift box, and impresses with its rich, complex character.

The Aberlour 18 Years Old Double Sherry Cask Finish Batch No. 007 owes its distinctive aroma to the full double sherry finish in high-quality Spanish sherry casks. Both Oloroso sherry butts made from Spanish oak and Pedro Ximénez sherry butts are used in this process. This combination creates an intense blend of ripe fruit, dark sweetness, spices and an elegant cask structure. The influence of the sherry casks lends this premium Speyside whisky notes of apricots, chocolate, raisins and spicy accents, whilst the long maturation imparts additional depth and harmony.
