Twenty-one years ago, our skilled artisans meticulously crafted this exceptional spirit and let it rest in American and sherry oak casks, entrusting it to time for an unparalleled maturation. After waiting patiently, our makers are now unveiling this single malt of extraordinary depth and complexity, brimming with rich, intricate flavors. This non-chill filtered expression, crafted in a single small batch, reveals the pure, treasured essence of Aberlour. This well-balanced Single Malt perfectly combines a rich and fruity character, with layered notes of cherries and nutmeg. A truly remarkable whisky, with a complex, warm spice finish.

the craft and making of the 21 year old

Graeme Cruickshank, Aberlour Master Distiller

Having personally guided the 21 Year Old on its journey from grain to glass, I know first-hand the patience, precision and care required to bring a whisky of this age to life. It is the ultimate reflection of what happens when craft meets time.
