Product

Aberlour 13 Year Old is a Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured for thirteen years in a combination of American oak and Oloroso sherry casks. This dual maturation creates a whisky that balances fresh fruit and vanilla with richer notes of dried fruit, chocolate, and spice, while preserving Aberlour's signature smooth and approachable style.

The palate is rich and rounded, offering flavors of caramel, dark chocolate, orange zest, cinnamon, roasted nuts, and gentle spice. The finish is long and smooth with lingering notes of dried fruit, sweet oak, and warming spices.
