Aberlour 14 Year Old Double Cask is a refined Speyside single malt, matured in American oak and Oloroso sherry casks for a minimum of fourteen years. Rich and elegant, it balances orchard fruit, caramel and spice with creamy depth and a long, harmonious finish — an award-winning whisky that perfectly embodies Aberlour’s artistry and makes a memorable gift.
Tasting Notes & Experience
