-----------------------------------------------------------Aberlour a'bunadh is a natural single cask strength malt whisky. Taken directly from specially selected sherry casks it is bottled as simply as possible without the use of modern filtering methods or the addition of water. The three main characteristics that distinguish Aberlour a'bunadh from the other single malts are:

Original Cask Strength means that the whisky is bottled at the strength of the cask, which in the case of the first batch of a'bunadh is 59.6%. Not diluted, the whisky possesses a greater aromatic complexity. Most malts of the old days were cask strength.

Not Chill-filtered.

Only the best Sherry Butts, which previously held oloroso, have been selected by Douglas Cruickshank, Aberlour's Distillery Director. These casks are the rarest and the most precious used for whisky maturation.

Bryggeriet ligger vid floden Lours utflöde i Spey. Vattnet kommer från en mycket gammal källa med namnet St: Dunstans källa. Verksamheten startades 1826 av James Gordon.

Maltwhiskyn från Aberlour har under lång tid använts i blandningar men 1972 kom de första buteljerna singel malt ut på marknaden.
