This expression exemplifies Aberlour's dedication to crafting complex and nuanced single malts that reflect the rich heritage of the region. Distilled in 2010 and aged for 13 years, this whisky undergoes a meticulous double cask maturation process, spending time in both American Oak barrels and sherry casks.
