Double Cask Matured
Aberlour 12 Year
Aberlour4.7(100 reviews)
Aberlour 12 Year Old is a benchmark double-cask matured Speyside single malt Scotch whisky, representing the signature richness of the Aberlour distillery. The new-make spirit is matured in two distinct cask types parallelly — traditional American oak ex-bourbon barrels and Spanish Oloroso sherry butts — for a minimum of 12 years before being skillfully blended together. This dual aging yields a deeply complex, round, and balanced character. On the nose, it offers sweet citrus fruits and rich sherry sweetness. The palate is treated to a luxurious combination of fresh red apples, spiced ginger, clove, and creamy vanilla fudge, followed by a warm, lingering finish of toasted oak and sweet fruits.

Taste: 5/5Value: 5/5
“Absolutely spectacular! Visited a local outlet in Andheri and picked up Aberlour 12 Year. At ₹8,200 in Mumbai, this represents incredible value. The notes of Sweet Red Apples & Citrus and Rich Oloroso Sherry Sweetness pair phenomenally well with home-cooked Mutton Kheema Pav. Highly recommended!”

“A highly sophisticated single malt scotch whisky by Aberlour. Wonderfully smooth on the throat with subtle hints of Sweet Red Apples & Citrus and Warm Spiced Ginger & Clove. Serving this neat during a family gathering in Bandra was a major hit, especially alongside local Kheema Pav!”
