ABERLOUR DISTILLERY 10yo Circa 2000s 40% abv 70cl
An old bottle of Aberlour 10-year-old Speyside single malt whisky, the much-beloved but now discontinued core range entry-level bottling from this classic Speyside distillery, which was replaced by Aberlour 10-year-old Forest Reserve in 2019. This bottling dates from around the turn of the millennium.
A longstanding classic Speyside whisky that has seen an even influence from both bourbon and sherry casks and is all the better for it, Aberlour 10-year-old is a crisp, easy-drinking, mediumweight single malt full of honey, spice, treacle, soft fruits and light smoky cereal notes. Rightly a classic.

The first distillery in the village of Aberlour was established in 1825 and ran until 1833, when the co-lessees James and John Grant left to build their own distillery, Glen Grant, in Rothes. The current distillery was the brainchild of James Fleming who built it in 1879 using water from St. Drostan’s Well, named after an early Columban monk, which is situated on the site. Like many Victorian distilleries, it burnt down and, in 1898, had to be rebuilt. During World War II when the distillery was on short-term working, locals used to smuggle wash up the Aberlour burn and distil illicitly under the Linn Falls. The distillery became part of Campbell Distillers in 1945, passing into the Pernod Ricard stable in 1974, the year after it had been expanded from two to four stills and wholly modernised internally. Its ownership has long given it a strong following in France. It is now part of Pernod’s whisky division, Chivas Brothers.
