The Aberlour 12 Years Old DOUBLE CASK MATURED 40% is a classic Speyside single malt Scotch whisky that combines the Aberlour Distillery’s fruity character with a balanced double cask maturation. The whisky is matured for over twelve years in both ex-bourbon casks and ex-sherry casks before the different cask batches are harmoniously blended together. It is precisely this double cask maturation that defines the typical style of this bottling: The bourbon casks impart soft notes of vanilla and toffee, whilst the sherry influence adds extra fruit, spice and depth. The result is a rounded, approachable Speyside whisky with distinct maturity and a pleasant balance between sweeter cask notes and a spicy structure.

At 40% ABV, the Aberlour 12 Years Old Double Cask Matured is smooth and harmonious, without losing any of its character. Red apples and ripe fruit meet chocolate, toffee, cinnamon and ginger, whilst the sherry cask influence lends the whisky additional warmth and complexity. Its colour is golden amber with slight ruby-red highlights, although the bottling contains added colouring. The 0.7-litre bottle is ideal for lovers of 12-year-old Speyside whisky matured in both bourbon and sherry casks, who are looking for a well-balanced single malt with a fruity and spicy profile. This makes the Aberlour 12 Double Cask one of the distillery’s most versatile bottlings.
