- Description
- This 1966 Aberlour aged 30 years was matured in two sherry butts and one bourbon hogshead before being reduced from 52.1% to 43% for bottling, with production limited to 1000 bottles. The extended sherry influence has built rich dried fruit, chocolate, and spice layers atop the Speyside distillery's naturally sweet character. The complexity and balance reflect three decades of patient maturation. A landmark bottle marking an era of Speyside production.
