Christmas spices and aromas of raisins and dried apricot mingle with subtle floral notes and thickly set honey in this 16-year-old expression. It was aged in a combination of sherry butts and first-fill bourbon casks, resulting in depth, power, and most importantly, balance.

This gentle single malt from Aberlour shows how the distillery’s crisp citrus character is softened by maturation in sherry casks. On the nose, you'll find inviting aromas of dried fruits, honeycomb, and vanilla custard, followed by dark chocolate, apricots, and polished red apples.

A stunning expression that balances rich baking spice with a decadent dark fruit character. Fourteen years in oloroso sherry casks and first-fill American oak casks have resulted in notes of mulled brandy, milk chocolate, menthol, maraschino cherries, and freshly ground coffee.

The 18-year-old showcases Aberlour’s affinity for sherry cask maturation. Pedro Ximenez casks are joined by the more traditional oloroso, contributing layers of dried orange, sultanas, chocolate-covered almonds, fruitcake, and ginger biscuits. The long velvety finish is the perfect accompaniment to round out an evening, perhaps with a rendition of Auld Lang Syne.
