7 Smoothest Single Malt Scotch for Beginners

6. Aberlour 12

Aberlour distillery was wounded in 1879 in a Speyside whisky region of Scotland, although the first distillery of Aberlour was built in 1825 (but closed soon after). At the time it was built, it was one of the most modern distilleries, but it suffered the same destiny as many Victorian distilleries at the time, it was destroyed very soon after in 1898. What makes Aberlour’s taste a distinctive one is maturing in different casks.  Aberlour is double matured in Spanish Oloroso Sherry and American Oak barrels leaving a light fruitytaste.
