- Description
- Aberlour's 25-year-old from 1988, matured in a refill hogshead and bottled at cask strength for Hunter Laing's Old Malt Cask 15th Anniversary range, delivers the Speyside distillery's orchard-fruit-forward character with added depth from extended oak aging. Refill wood allows the malt's natural character to develop without excessive influence, creating balance between fruit, spice, and subtle tannin structure. Presented in a wooden box as part of a limited 234-bottle release emphasizing quality over quantity. Perfect for Aberlour devotees or those exploring what a quarter-century of careful maturation brings to Speyside.
