Overview

Aberlour 14 Year Old Double Cask Matured Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a 14 year old single malt from the awesome Aberlour Distillery up in Scotland's prolific Speyside region. This expression has enjoyed its maturation in a combination of Oloroso sherry casks and first-fill American oak casks. Dig in to all those fruity, spicy sherried notes that you're familiar with from Aberlour, paired with decadent helpings of rich, creamy vanilla. 

It’s the perfect balance of nature and nurture; rich and spicy yet subtle and elegant.

In recognition of its quality, the new Aberlour 14 Year Old has picked up several awards even before its launch – winning a coveted Double Gold medal at the prestigious International Wine and Spirits Competition 2020, and a Gold medal at the International Spirits Challenge 2020

Tasting Notes

  • Nose: Sweet vanilla, ripe cherry and a touch of clove and toffee
  • Palate: Soft caramel, blackcurrant and blackberry jam with subtle spice and mocha coffee
  • Finish: Long, sweet and well balanced, with a hint of mint

Deep amber with honeyed gold in the glass, a step darker and richer than the 12 Year Old thanks to the extra time in sherry wood.

What sets this bottle apart

  • A step up from the 12 Year Old, with two extra years and a heavier sherry influence
  • Matured in Oloroso sherry casks and first fill American oak
  • Richer and more fruit forward than the standard Aberlour 12
  • Picked up major awards even before its official launch

Distillery Information

Aberlour Distillery has been making single malt in Speyside, Scotland since 1879, using water drawn from its own St Drostan's Well. Double cask maturation is the distillery's signature move, combining different oak types to build layers of flavour that a single cask can't reach on its own.

The 14 Year Old takes that approach further than the entry level 12, leaning on Oloroso sherry casks alongside first fill American oak to deliver a richer, more fruit driven dram.

Awards & Recognition

Double Gold, International Wine & Spirits Competition, 2020

Gold Medal, International Spirits Challenge, 2020

Who this bottle is for

  • Aberlour 12 Year Old fans ready to step up a level
  • Sherry cask fans after more fruit and depth in the glass
  • Bourbon drinkers exploring Scotch who want something richer than an entry level dram
  • Gift buyers after a well awarded, slightly more premium bottle

How to enjoy

  • Best neat to get the full run of sherry and spice
  • A drop of water can soften it further if you want an easier sip
  • Give it a minute in the glass before the first taste

Why we curate it

Aberlour 14 Year Old Double Cask is the 12 Year Old's older, richer sibling. Same double cask approach, just with more sherry influence and a couple of extra years behind it. A genuine step up for anyone who's already worked through the 12 and wants more.
