Aberlour is a pure single highland malt from Speyside. Aberlour was founded in 1826 by James Gordon & Peter Weir at the feet of Ben Rinnes, from whose slopes it draws its water & said to be an important characteristic of its distinctive flavour. The distillery was rebuilt in 1879 after a fire & it is this date which appears on the label. The Aberlour Glenvilet Distillery Company is a subsidiary of Campbell Distillers.
