50 YEARS: CARVED IN TIME
Introducing the first ever, highly exclusive 50 Year Old release from the Aberlour Distillery: a rare and distinguished expression that reflects half a century of expert maturation and meticulous cask selection. This whisky reveals a remarkable depth and complexity shaped by decades of patient aging under the careful eye of our master distillers and cask experts, with only 20 bottles globally available. This is not just a whisky, but a tribute to time, place, and the people who have shaped it.
OWNING A PIECE OF HISTORY
Beyond the Single Malt, exceptional craftsmanship defines its presentation. The bespoke cabinet, crafted from twelve oak staves, honors traditional cooperage while transforming the wood into a work of art. At its base rests a rare touch of history, a granite plinth carved from the stone of Aberlour’s decommissioned Warehouse No. 1, a tangible link to the distillery’s origins and generations of craftsmanship.
Tasting Notes
Colour
On the eyes, a deep mahogany with glints of polished copper, luminous and clear
Nose
Opens with a medley of ripe apricot, red apple and pear, accented by the fragrant sweetness of cantaloupe melon, over a backdrop of toasted hazelnut, light meringue and marshmallow dipped in milk chocolate, with hints of nutmeg and cinnamon bringing gentle warmth and a deeper whisper of toasted oak
Palate
A flourish of orange marmalade leads, entwined with rich creamy vanilla fudge. As the palate reveals itself, vanilla custard tart flavours emerge, their sweetness offset by the vibrancy of stem ginger soaked in syrup
Finish
The finish is long and sweet, with a hint of spice that lingers
