Notes:
Since Pagan times there has been a settlement at Aberlour, on the banks of the Lour where it meets the River Spey. A place of ancient rites and mysteries, of one-eyed monsters and talking streams, of druid priests and fearless Celtic missionaries, Aberlour is also the home of one of the world’s best-loved whiskies. James Flemming, whisky maker, local benefactor and a man of exceptional character, founded the Aberlour Distillery in 1879. With immaculate foresight Fleming built his distillery on the site of St Drostan’s Well whose magically pure spring water – supposedly blessed by the saint himself some 1,400 years ago – is the lifeblood of Aberlour’s award winning whisky. From its mystical origins to the distillery today, this is a story of a great malt whisky. And like most good stories it has a happy ending. All you have to do to enjoy it is pour yourself a glass of Aberlour.
