Aberlour Expands U.S. Portfolio with 14-Year-Old and 21-Year-Old Single Malt Scotch Whiskies

Aberlour 14-Year-Old is double-cask matured in a combination of Oloroso sherry casks and first-fill American oak casks. This natural maturation approach reflects the brand's focus on the character of its ingredients, including barley and pure Birkenbush spring water. The result is a balanced profile with soft hints of blackcurrant and a creamy finish.

Tasting notes include sweet vanilla and ripe cherry on the nose, followed by a smooth, rounded palate of soft caramel, blackcurrant, blackberry jam and subtle spice. The finish is long, sweet and balanced.

Also recently joining Aberlour's U.S. portfolio following its global debut, Aberlour 21-Year-Old offers a rich, fruity character with layered notes of cherry and nutmeg, complemented by a complex, warm spice finish. The oldest permanent expression in the brand's range, Aberlour 21-year-Old is matured for 21 years in American and sherry oak casks. This non-chill-filtered single malt is crafted in a single small batch and released annually in limited quantities. Bottled at 48% ABV, Aberlour 21-Year-Old is now available in the U.S.

To celebrate Aberlour 14-Year-Old's U.S. debut, Aberlour has created a limited number of The Fourteen Pack holiday gift sets featuring Filson's Dryden Briefcase. The set pairs a bottle of Aberlour 14-Year-Old with the Filson bag, offering a distinctive holiday gift for Scotch whisky enthusiasts and those who appreciate quality design.

The Fourteen Pack brings together two heritage brands with a shared appreciation for craftsmanship, longevity and products made with purpose. From Aberlour's home in the rugged landscapes of Scotland's Speyside region to Filson's Pacific Northwest heritage, both brands believe the best things are worth waiting for and made to stand the test of time. With more than a century of outfitting, Filson designs durable gear for demanding conditions, from workwear to travel, with an emphasis on longevity and responsibly sourced materials.

"Every Aberlour expression tells a story of the place and people behind it, and Aberlour 14-Year-Old is a wonderful reflection of that heritage. Double-cask matured in Oloroso sherry and first-fill American oak casks, it brings together rich, warming notes with a smooth, balanced finish," said Jessica Hochberg, Brand Director, GEM Division at Pernod Ricard. "With The Fourteen Pack, we're extending that same appreciation for craftsmanship and quality beyond the whisky, with a gift set including Filson's Dryden Briefcase, a product made to stand the test of time."

The limited-edition Fourteen Pack will be available exclusively through ReserveBar.com while supplies last. The set retails for $200. Aberlour 14-Year-Old is available for purchase at select retailers for a suggested retail price of $79.99. Images HERE.
