The wine

A single malt aged for at least 8 years, bottled after 1975 by Campbell’’s Distillers Ltd for the Italian market (importer: Fratelli Rinaldi). “Aberlour-Glenlivet” is still found on various bottlings from the distillery in the late 1980s but very rarely. Presented in a clear, square bottle with the original three labels. Bottle topped with a screw cap sealed with a black foil seal and Italian tax strip.

The distillery Aberlour

Scotland, Speyside. Distillery operational. Owner: Pernod Ricard

Then owned by the Chivas Brothers group, in the early 1970s Aberlour was one of Scotland's first Speyside distilleries to release on the French market various versions of its single malt aged entirely in ex-sherry casks. Some of these had been matured for 8 or 9 years and their labels already featured the vintages 1964 and 1965. What made Aberlour really stand out from its contemporaries, however, was its “100 proof” (50% ABV) alcohol content - a reflection of its strong temperament - and its small square bottle unlike any other, emblazoned with the words “Aberlour – Glenlivet, Unblended All Malt Scotch Whisky.”Now owned by and the standard bearer for the Pernod Ricard group, Aberlour has kept its character alive through a limited edition baptized A'Bunadh, on the way swapping its small square bottle for a rounder, more generous shape. For the distillery's most prestigious bottlings, it opts for a more slender, classic and elegant design.
