- Description
- Bottled in the early 1980s at just 5 years old, this young Aberlour captures the spirit's bright, fresh character before deep cask influence develops. At 40% ABV, it remains light and accessible with the herbal, floral notes typical of younger Speyside. A historical snapshot of a simpler bottling style. Perfect for summer drinking or those curious about how Aberlour tastes before extended maturation.
