Aberlour is a Speyside single malt Scotch whisky brand associated with the Aberlour distillery near the village of Aberlour in Moray, Scotland. The distillery was founded by James Fleming in 1879, and the brand takes its name from the locality. Its range is built around single malt whiskies matured in different types of oak casks, including sherry and bourbon casks, with profiles commonly associated with dried fruit, spice, malt and oak. The brand offers standard age-statement expressions as well as products such as A'bunadh, which is known for its higher strength and batch-based releases. Aberlour is currently part of Pernod Ricard's Scotch whisky portfolio, while its exact range varies by market.

The Aberlour distillery is located near the village of Aberlour in Moray, within Scotland's Speyside whisky region. James Fleming founded the distillery in 1879, and the brand remains closely associated with the locality and the area's whisky-making tradition. Over time, Aberlour developed into a single malt Scotch whisky brand with a range structured around different ages and cask-maturation approaches. Its whiskies commonly use American oak bourbon casks and European oak sherry casks, helping create profiles associated with dried fruit, spice, malt and oak. In the late twentieth century, Aberlour became part of Pernod Ricard's Scotch whisky assets and was subsequently developed as an internationally marketed single malt brand. The current portfolio includes age-statement expressions such as 10, 12, 16 and 18 years, as well as batch-oriented or non-age-statement products such as A'bunadh. Pack sizes, strengths and market availability vary by country.
