- Description
- Distilled at Speyside's Aberlour in October 1990 and aged for 20 years in hogshead 101779, this cask strength single malt represents one of only 257 bottled by Signatory in September 2011. The extended maturation in refill wood has allowed Aberlour's characteristic honeyed, sherried character to develop with complexity and depth. Expect a rich, full-bodied spirit with layers of dried fruit and spice beneath the malt. A serious bottling for those seeking mature Speyside complexity at natural strength.
