Aberlour Distillery is a Scotch whisky distillery located in the village of Aberlour, Speyside, Scotland. It was founded in 1879 and is currently owned by Chivas Brothers, the Scotch whisky arm of Pernod Ricard. Aberlour is best known for its rich, sherry-driven house style and the cask-strength A'bunadh expression, making it one of the top-selling single malts in the world.
Aberlour Distillery was established in 1879 by James Fleming, a local grain merchant and philanthropist who had previously leased the nearby Dailuaine distillery. Fleming secured a feu of land at the confluence of the Lour Burn and the River Spey from the Earl of Fife, and the new distillery began producing whisky from December 1880, drawing on spring water from Ben Rinnes. Fleming sold the business to his agents, Robert Thorne & Sons, in 1892. Ownership passed through several hands over the following decades, including W. H. Holt & Sons from 1920, before S. Campbell & Sons Ltd took control in 1945. The distillery was rebuilt and re-equipped with four stills in 1973 after earlier fires had damaged the site during its history. In 1975, Pernod Ricard acquired Campbell Distilleries, bringing Aberlour into the French drinks group's portfolio, and it has since operated under Chivas Brothers, formed in 2001 to consolidate Pernod Ricard's Scotch whisky distilleries. A modernised visitor centre opened in 2002, and Aberlour has grown into one of the best-selling single malts globally, particularly popular in France.
Aberlour's core range centres on sherry-cask maturation. Aberlour 12 Year Old Double Cask (40% ABV) is matured in a mix of American oak and sherry casks. Aberlour 16 Year Old (43% ABV) and Aberlour 18 Year Old build on the same sherried style with extended ageing. The distillery's signature bottling, Aberlour A'bunadh, is a non-chill-filtered, cask-strength expression (typically around 59-61% ABV) matured exclusively in seasoned oloroso sherry butts and released in numbered batches; a bourbon-cask variant, A'bunadh Alba, is bottled at 57.1% ABV.
