James Fleming founded the Aberlour Distillery in 1879, at the heart of Speyside, the country's premier whisky-making region. He build the distillery on the site of St. Drostan's Well, thus securing the priceless source of fresh spring water. In 1898, a fire destroyed several of the building of the distillery, and most of the whisky stocks. Charles Doig of Elgin, Scotlands foremost designer of whisky distilleries, made sure the Aberlour Distillery was rebuild.Today The Aberlour is owned by Pernod Ricard, and is the seventh bestselling Scotch single malt.

Aberlour A'Bunadh Speyside Single Malt

This A'Bunadh is a unique cask strength whisky, carefully made by hand. It has achieved cult status among the whisky connoisseurs. A'Bunadh means 'The Original' in Gaelic and is a homage to Aberlours founder James Fleming, using traditional methods without chill filtration or other modern processes. This makes the whisky heavier, and a creamier single malt, with an intense raisin character.
