Many of Scotland's distilleries have stories of varying degrees of interest relating to their history. Aberlour officials will readily point out that in 960 A.D., St. Dunstan conducted his Baptismals in the spring of water that is now used for whisky production by their distillery. Judge for yourself as to the relevance, or contribution, that this information or act in history has on the single malt you will taste. Aberlour Distillery was founded in 1879 on the site of an earlier distillery built in 1826. It produces a full-bodied malt that is quite complex and spicy, with a classic bouquet in the nose. It is the only malt whisky to have won twice (1986 and 1990) both the Gold Medal and Pot Still Trophy at the International Wine and Spirit Competition.
