A delicate balance of nature and nurture
Aberlour Distillery was founded by James Fleming in the year 1879, in Aberlour, Strathspey, Scotland. It is at a location with a sure supply of pure spring water from river Lour and Spey that flows over the pink granite of Ben Rinnes. James Fleming was a son of a local tenant farmer who worked in Dailuiane, a single malt distillery for ten years before launching his own Aberlour Distillery. Fleming was producing whisky from 1880 onwards until his death at the age of 65 in 1895 - his body then buried opposite the distillery in the village cemetery. Since 1975, Pernod Ricard has been the owner of this distillery.
Introducing Aberlour 14, a new individual batch release that combines the makers careful craft with a deep understanding and respect for the natural maturation process. This approach retains the inherent character of the finest ingredients; imparting soft and gentle hints of blackcurrant and a rich creamy finish.
It’s the perfect balance of nature and nurture; rich and spicy yet subtle and elegant.
In recognition of its quality, the new Aberlour 14 Year Old has picked up several awards even before its launch – winning a coveted Double Gold medal at the prestigious International Wine and Spirits Competition 2020, and a Gold medal at the International Spirits Challenge 2020.
