Aberlour 18 Year Old Double Cask matures for eighteen years in a combination of American bourbon casks and oloroso sherry casks, which are then married together. The dual maturation and extended aging produce a Speyside malt of genuine depth and complexity.
Eighteen years allow both cask types to integrate fully. The bourbon provides vanilla and fruit, the sherry adds dried fruit and spice, and the extended maturation gives everything time to harmonise. The result is a composed, well-balanced Speyside of genuine maturity.
Aberlour 18 is one of the best-value eighteen-year-old sherried Speyside malts. The double cask maturation provides genuine complexity, the eighteen years provide genuine depth, and the price is competitive with less impressive alternatives. A reliable, rewarding aged Speyside.
