{"product_id":"whispering-waters-aberlour-11-year-single-malt-scotch-whisky","title":"Whispering Waters Aberlour 11 Year Single Malt Scotch Whisky","description":"Whispering Waters Aberlour 11 Year Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a cask strength single malt from the renowned Speyside distillery, bottled at 50% ABV after maturing in old ex-bourbon barrels with a first-fill ex-bourbon finish. This single cask expression delivers the classic Aberlour character amplified by non-chill filtration and natural color presentation.\n\nThis exclusive bottling for Benash Liquors showcases Aberlour's mastery of bourbon barrel maturation, with the whisky distilled in April 1986 and bottled exactly 40 years later in April 2026. Located in the heart of Speyside, Aberlour Distillery has been crafting exceptional single malts since 1879, renowned for their ability to balance fruit-forward complexity with smooth drinkability.\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Honeyed apple orchard, vanilla custard, toasted almonds, dried apricots, subtle oak spice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rich butterscotch, cinnamon-dusted pears, dark chocolate, warm baking spices, bourbon barrel sweetness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long and warming with lingering vanilla, gentle oak tannins, hint of orange zest\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpirit Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSingle Malt Scotch Whisky\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eABV\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50.0% (100 Proof)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eVolume\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e700ml\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAge Statement\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e11 Years\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRelease Year\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2026\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDistillery\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAberlour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRegion\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpeyside, Scotland\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBarrel Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOld Ex-Bourbon, 1st Fill Ex-Bourbon Finish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFiltration\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNon-Chill Filtered\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eColor\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNatural\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCask Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSingle Cask\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhisky Collectors:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single cask bottling with specific distillation and bottling dates makes this a unique addition to any collection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpeyside Enthusiasts:\u003c\/strong\u003e Classic Aberlour character at cask strength showcases the distillery's bourbon barrel expertise\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeat Sipping:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cask strength presentation allows for customizable dilution to explore different flavor profiles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecial Occasions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Limited bottling perfect for celebrating milestones or sharing with fellow whisky enthusiasts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does Whispering Waters Aberlour 11 Year taste like?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Aberlour 11 Year delivers classic Speyside character with honeyed apple and vanilla custard on the nose, rich butterscotch and cinnamon-spiced pears on the palate, and a long finish with vanilla and gentle oak.

The high proof and single cask nature make it too precious for cocktails - save your mixing whiskies for Old Fashioneds and use this for contemplative sipping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this compare to regular Aberlour expressions?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Whispering Waters bottling offers more intensity than standard Aberlour releases due to its cask strength presentation and non-chill filtration. You'll get deeper bourbon barrel influence and more concentrated flavors compared to the 12 Year or 16 Year expressions, with the added uniqueness of being from a single cask.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat makes this bottle special?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a single cask, cask strength bottling with specific distillation (April 1986) and bottling dates (April 2026), making it a unique snapshot in time. The non-chill filtration and natural color preserve the whisky's full character, while the old ex-bourbon and first-fill bourbon finish create exceptional depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this worth the price for an 11-year whisky?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe value lies in the single cask nature, cask strength bottling, and exclusive availability through Benash Liquors. While younger than some premium expressions, the intensive bourbon barrel maturation and limited production justify the premium over standard age-statement whiskies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eYou must be 21 years of age or older to purchase this product.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Whispering Waters","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42126362116151,"sku":"WWA11YSMSW","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/8843\/0135\/files\/front_b447e269-cfce-46bc-b727-ff0d261e8dd3.jpg?v=1772473038","url":"https:\/\/dramstreet.com\/products\/whispering-waters-aberlour-11-year-single-malt-scotch-whisky","provider":"Dram Street","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
