Aberlour distillery is a Speyside single malt Scotch whisky distillery, in Aberlour, Strathspey, Scotland.
In 1879, James Fleming secured a feu from the Earl of Fife on the land where he planned to build the Aberlour distillery and, upon its completion, produced whisky there from December 1880. He sold the business to his acting agents, Robert Thorne & Sons in 1892
Robert Thorne & Sons Ltd. sold the Aberlour distillery in 1920 to a brewing family, W.H. Holt & Sons, based near Manchester, England. In 1945, ownership passed to S. Campbell & Sons Ltd and the distillery was later re-equppied with four stills in 1973
In 1975, Pernod Ricard acquired Campbell Distilleries, and they joined with Chivas Brothers in 2001 forming a portfolio of 14 single malt distilleries and one grain distillery in Scotland, and two gin distilleries in England.
The whisky comes in a variety of ages, including a cask strength release, A’bunadh, with no age statement.
