About this bottle
"In 1979, Mr Ian Mitchell set aside 30 oak casks which had contained his favoured bourbon to age a malt made from barley harvested after an exceptionally fine Summer. Aged for over 21 years at the distillery on the River Spey, this smooth, beautifully balanced malt retains the distinctive Aberlour character and is outstanding in its length and complexity"
This Limited Edition bottle comes complete with original mahogany box with brass fittings.

The current incarnation is around a mile from the original Aberlour distillery site, founded in 1826 by the Grants who would eventually leave to establish Glen Grant in Rothes. James Fleming rebuilt the distillery in 1879, where it remains on the outskirts of the town. Its history is one of fires, rebuilds and extensions. This explains the assortment of buildings that now form the distillery, owned by Pernod Ricard. With the number of stills doubled to 4 in 1973 to meet demand, Pernod Ricard moved to purchase Aberlour the year after given its popularity in France. Forever associated with sherry casks, Aberlour continues to be popular thanks to its robust sherry drams and new releases such as the A’bunadh Alba showcasing a new twist for this classic Speyside distillery.
