- Description
- Distilled in 2009, this Aberlour was unusually bottled after just nine years in a refill butt, allowing the distillery's vibrant spirit character to express itself without heavy sherry influence—a deliberate stylistic choice that yielded only 72 bottles. The refill wood permitted subtle oxidation and maturation while preserving the distillery's core identity.
