Aberargie Expressions – Laureate is a distinctive Lowland single malt Scotch whisky showcasing the character of 100% Laureate barley, a modern barley variety grown by Aberargie on its own family farm in Perthshire.

Part of the Aberargie Expressions range, the Laureate edition explores how a single barley variety can influence the character of the finished whisky. It is matured with a 68% first-fill sherry and 32% first-fill bourbon cask profile, creating a rich yet elegant balance between dried fruit, vibrant orchard fruit and sweeter honeyed notes.

On the nose, expect candied orange peel, dried fruit and ripe orchard fruits. The palate is fruity and elegant, with dried fruit, delicate sweetness and a well-defined structure, leading to a long, honeyed finish with harmonious oak spice.

Bottled at 48.2% ABV, without chill filtration, Aberargie Expressions – Laureate is an excellent choice for whisky enthusiasts interested in modern Scottish single malt and the influence of barley variety on whisky character.
