- Description
- Aberlour's 2008 vintage, aged for 8 years in a single refill barrel before independent bottling by Douglas Laing, delivers classic Speyside character with restrained oak influence. The refill cask allows the distillery's core notes of orchard fruit, honey, and subtle spice to shine without heavy vanilla overlay. Medium-bodied and balanced, it reflects Aberlour's sherry-friendly house style while maintaining freshness. This is ideal for those who appreciate traditional Speyside without excessive wood maturation.
