Aberlour Glenlivet 12 Year Old 1980s Bottle 75cl

Pernod Ricard's share of the Scotch Whisky market is second only to Diageo's; a fact that is in no small part down to their acquisition of Aberlour distillery in 1974. Despite being unlucky enough to suffer two catastrophic fires (in 1879 and 1898), Aberlour has enjoyed stable production throughout most of its life, and under the current regime its popularity has exploded. This is especially true in France where it has overtaken Glenfiddich as the biggest selling single malt.

This roaring success could be attributed to the delicate berry-flavour spirit that runs from its swan-necked stills, or to the enormous popularity of its heavily sherried A'bunadh batch releases. Perhaps even the fact that the Distillery Manager used to serenade the slumbering casks with the soothing tones of the bagpipes. Okay, maybe not the last thing!

A bottle of Aberlour, from the days when they were still using the 'Glenlivet' suffix.

A 1980s bottling of 12 year old Aberlour single malt - or rather, Aberlour-Glenlivet single malt, as the bottle proclaims. Back in the day, distilleries would tag "-Glenlivet" on to the end of their names, and continued to do so for many years afterwards, though the practice has since ceased (mostly).
