Description
Aberlour 12 Year Old from the 1970s is a classic Speyside single malt that reflects a very different whisky era from today. Bottled at a time when distillery character mattered more than cask dominance, this whisky shows a gentle and balanced style. The nose and palate offer soft notes of honey, malted barley and ripe orchard fruit, followed by light oak and a slightly waxy texture that is typical of older bottlings. The alcohol strength of 40 percent keeps the whisky elegant and easy to drink, allowing the spirit itself to take centre stage. This 1970s Aberlour is valued not for power, but for its authenticity and for offering a clear snapshot of how Speyside whisky once tasted.
