Product Overview
Aberlour 18 is matured concurrently in Sherry butts and American oak barrels for a minimum of 18 years in each, absorbing deep flavors of rich spiciness and soft, sweet vanilla from the different woods. When each butt and barrel come to their perfect peak of maturation, they are subtly married together to create this fine double cask matured whiskey.
The mature, deep, spicy one: a deeper Sherry influence adds more spiciness and a liquorice tang. Greater age adds body and develops the distinctive fruitiness to a rich raisin character.
