ABERLOUR is a registered trademark by Chivas Bros. > Pernod Ricard, France
New Design since batch # 66 / March 2020
The story behind this filling:
in 1999,
Aberlour released a Millennium edition of an a'bunadh as 12 years old
with the Stirling silver label; limited to 2000 bottles.
37 bottles of this
batch have been left in stock . . . and forgotten.
They were found again end of 2009,
labelled as "SILVER" and sold in the visitors shop.
Guess, how long it took it was sold out. Just a few hours.

the same batch? # 30 * new label 59.6% old label 59.8% >>> wait for more info
. . . and here is the answer:
There is no batch # 30 with the new label!
Batch # 32 is the first one released with the new label.
Here shown batch # 30 was just and only used by Pernod Ricard for marketing and project planing.
. . . another Label,
only produced for marketing and / or project planning to launch a'bunadh in USA:
for batch # 2
