Aberlour Whisky Experience - Masterclass with Jon Minihan 5th Feb 630pm

Join us at Spier & Wright for an evening dedicated to the art of the "Double Cask." We are diving deep into the heart of Speyside with a curated vertical exploration of Aberlour, tracing the distillery’s signature transition from fresh orchard fruits to the rich, dark spice of Oloroso sherry.

From the approachable elegance of the 12-Year-Old to the sophisticated, honeyed depth of the 14 and 16, we’ll move toward the velvet-smooth 18-Year-Old. The journey culminates in a powerful finale with the legendary A'bunadh—a raw, cask-strength "sherry bomb" that remains a definitive tribute to Aberlour’s founder, James Fleming.

Guiding us through this liquid timeline is Jon Minihan, Pernod Ricard’s Prestige Brand Specialist. While Jon brings a wealth of technical expertise, he is perhaps best known in the industry for his "ripping yarns." Expect the history of the Lour Valley to come alive through a series of spirited stories that are as bold and memorable as the drams in your glass.
