Bottled from a single cask, there are only 96 individually numbered bottles available of this limited edition single malt whisky. They are on sale exclusively in Aelia stores in Paris (Charles de Gaulle) and Nice airports in France, Aberlour's number one domestic market.
France is currently the biggest whisky market in Europe and the largest European market for single malt whisky. Worldwide, France is the second largest single malt whisky market behind the US.
An American oak cask (no 4581) was filled with the malt on May 29 1975, then matured for 31 years to develop a "rich, multi-layered character".
