Aberlour

A distillery that comes out of the flames

Aberlour is located in Speyside. It draws its water from the Loura stream located a few miles from the distillery.

The history ofAberlour starts in 1826 when James Gordon and Peter Weir founded the distillery. However, it is James Fleming who is the founding father of Aberlour.
A fire destroyed most of the buildings in 1879 and Fleming rebuilt them. He also built a giant water mill which was to supply the distillery until the 1960's.

The flames destroy Aberlour again in 1898, making most of the whisky in storage disappear.
Once again, the distillery recovered and took off after the second world war.

A strong brand with sherry accents

Bought in 1975 by Pernod-Ricard, Aberlour is one of the emblematic distilleries of Scotch whisky, especially in France. Unlike many others, it keeps most of its casks for its official bottlings.
