Aberlour 100 Proof Townhouse Label Sherry Cask Matured Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky (1997) 100cl 1 Litre

A rarely seen older version of 1990s 100 Proof whisky (57.1% and not American Proof). 

Aberlour is known in the world for producing gentler spirits until we get to Cask Strength stuff like this. 

The bottle shows the Aberlour townhouse on the label. 

"A malty, cakey Aberlour at full strength, cakes and oranges over walnuts and pipe tobacco. Malty, cakey full-strength character A flick of shoe polish that not all will love DRAMFINDER 88/100."

TASTING NOTES

Nose: A little shoe polish, but maltier and more on cakes and oranges than the usual sherried Aberlours; water brings sherry, walnuts and lighter pipe tobacco.

Palate: Rich and malty, cake and orange over sherried oak.

Finish: Long, sweet and malty

About Aberlour

A medium-weight single malt, Aberlour’s character balances malt, fruit and a distinctive blackcurrant note. It is a whisky which gains in weight and toffee-like sweetness as it matures and has sufficient depth to be able to cope with Sherry cask maturation.

The range is large, with many different variations on ex-Sherry and ex-Bourbon cask matured whiskies – some mixed, some 100%, others finished. Its greatest cult following is for the small batch, 100% Sherry-matured, cask-strength variant A’Bunadh which has run since 2000. Aberlour was also one of the first distilleries to offer a ‘bottle your own’ whisky to visitors.

The first distillery in the village of Aberlour was established in 1825 and ran until 1833, when the co-lessees James and John Grant left to build their own distillery, Glen Grant, in Rothes. The current distillery was the brainchild of James Fleming who built it in 1879 using water from St. Drostan’s Well, named after an early Columban monk, which is situated on the site.

Like many Victorian distilleries, it burnt down and, in 1898, had to be rebuilt. During World War II when the distillery was on short-term working, locals used to smuggle wash up the Aberlour burn and distil illicitly under the Linn Falls.
The distillery became part of Campbell Distillers in 1945, passing into the Pernod Ricard stable in 1974, the year after it had been expanded from two to four stills and wholly modernised internally. Its ownership has long given it a strong following in France. It is now part of Pernod’s whisky division, Chivas Brothers.
