Speyside Scotch whisky brand Aberlour has debuted its 14-Year-Old single malt in the US market, alongside a limited-edition holiday gift set created in partnership with heritage outfitter Filson. The double-cask matured expression launched on 5 November 2026, with a suggested retail price of US$79.99 at select retailers.
Aberlour 14-Year-Old is matured in a combination of Oloroso sherry casks and first-fill American oak casks. The brand said the natural maturation approach reflects a focus on the character of its ingredients, including barley and Birkenbush spring water.
Bottled at 40% ABV in 700ml format, the expression carries official tasting notes from the brand of sweet vanilla and ripe cherry on the nose. The palate is described as smooth and rounded, with soft caramel, blackcurrant, blackberry jam and subtle spice, leading to a long, sweet and balanced finish.

She added: “Double-cask matured in Oloroso sherry and first-fill American oak casks, it brings together rich, warming notes with a smooth, balanced finish.”
