Aberlour Travel Trio: Sherried Depth Meets Speyside Elegance

In March 2025, Aberlour launched three travel retail-exclusive single malts, each crafted to highlight the Speyside distillery’s rich heritage and creative flair. The range includes Aberlour 13 Year Old, Aberlour 16 Year Old Double Charred Selection, and Aberlour Suthainn. These expressions are available in selected duty-free outlets, including UK airports and Delhi Duty Free.

Aberlour 13 Year Old (40% ABV)
This bottling matures in American oak and Oloroso sherry casks. It opens with spiced red apple, plum jam, and melon on the nose. The palate brings golden syrup, raspberry jam, and pastry notes, while the finish is sweet, juicy, and gently spiced.

Aberlour 16 Year Old Double Charred Selection (43% ABV)
This expression matures in American oak and Oloroso casks, with some whisky finished in double-charred barrels. The result is layered: crème brûlée, honeycomb, and caramelised apples on the nose. On the palate, expect vanilla cream, cinnamon bananas, and coconut sorbet. It ends with warmth and delicate spice.

Aberlour Suthainn (48% ABV)
Suthainn uses a solera-inspired process with additional maturation in sherry hogsheads. It leads with aromas of blackcurrant pie, cinnamon, and marzipan. Flavours of toffee apples, strawberries, and creamy oak follow, finishing smooth and aromatic.

The new packaging feels modern yet grounded. It uses earthy colours and an oak tree motif reflecting Aberlour’s riverside roots. Eco-conscious elements include recyclable tubes and a lighter bottle design.

These travel retail exclusives offer a premium experience for Speyside fans. Prices start from £68, with a wider global rollout coming soon.
