The Aberlour Distillery is at the heart of
Speyside, the country's premier whisky-making region. No fewer
than half of Scotland's malt distilleries are located in Speyside,
which is renowned for producing whiskies of subtle depth and elegance.
Situated at the junction of the rivers Lour and
Spey, the distillery is surrounded by glorious scenery, dominated
by the rugged peaks of Ben Rinnes a short distance away. Pure
spring water for making the whisky is drawn from the Lour, and
the maturing spirit in the warehouse beneficially inhales the
moist Speyside air.
Aberlour is an ancient place as well as a beautiful
one. For more than 1,400 years there has been a community there
and signs of its long heritage are all around, from the age-old
oak trees above Linn Falls to the mysterious standing stones on
Fairy Hill.
At the distillery, nature, tradition and local
craftsmanship combine to create a great malt whisky - the spirit
of Aberlour.
