The Aberlour 10 Years Old FOREST RESERVE is a Speyside single malt Scotch whisky from the historic Aberlour Distillery in Speyside, Scotland. The distillery was founded in 1879 by James Fleming and is renowned for a fruity whisky style characterised by the influence of various oak casks. The Aberlour Forest Reserve 10 Years Old focuses on a maturation period of at least ten years, during which the single malt is initially matured in ex-bourbon and sherry casks. Subsequently, a portion of the whisky undergoes additional maturation in French Limousin oak casks. This deliberate use of different cask types lends the bottling extra structure and sets the Forest Reserve apart within the Aberlour range.

The Aberlour 10 Years Old Forest Reserve is bottled at 40% in a 0.7-litre bottle and presented in a matching gift box. In particular, the combination of classic Speyside maturation and the additional influence of French Limousin oak forms the key distinguishing feature of this single malt. The combination of casks ensures a balanced style, blending fruit, sweet malty notes and spicy woody notes. As a 10-year-old Speyside whisky, the Forest Reserve is ideal both as an introduction to the Aberlour Distillery range and for connoisseurs of classic single malts with an additional influence of French oak. The gift packaging further emphasises the present-worthy nature of this bottling.

Tasting Note

Colour: Warm gold with amber highlights.

Nose: Ripe fruit and vanilla with subtle spices, sweet malt and delicate oak notes.

Palate: Smooth and well-balanced with fruity nuances, vanilla, caramel and an increasingly spicy note of French oak.

Finish: Long-lasting and harmonious with fruit, subtle spice and a dry, lingering oak finish.

The Aberlour 10 Years Old Forest Reserve is particularly well suited to being enjoyed neat at room temperature or with a few drops of still water. In terms of food pairings, mature cheeses, roasted nuts, apple desserts or dark chocolate complement its fruity, spicy Speyside character. The combination of fruit and oaky spice also makes it a perfect accompaniment to a dessert featuring vanilla or caramel. Thanks to its 10-year maturation, the finish – or rather the additional maturation in Limousin oak – and the gift box, this single malt is also well-suited to whisky tastings and as a gift.
