Aberlour (Scottish Gaelic: Obar Lobhair), is the name of a town in Moray, Scotland, 12 miles (20 km) south of Elgin on the road to Grantown. A burn (stream), the Lour burn is a tributary of the River Spey, and the surrounding parish, are both named Aberlour, but the name is most commonly used in reference to the village which straddles the stream and flanks the Spey – although the full name of the village is Charlestown of Aberlour.

Amazing tasting with Graham and Karen. With the unknowns around COVID at the moment we had booked in to do a tour and tasting and had great communication from Karen beforehand. On the day of the tasting we were warmly greeted by Graham and Karen and followed the COVID secure rules. The tasting included 4 drams and a wee glass to take away. Graham ran the tasting and his knowledge was fantastic , guiding us through a virtual tour of the distillery and the tasting of the drams. He was full of whisky knowledge and could answer all our questions. The handmade still & mash tun were brilliant. In the shop the service was equally as friendly and it ended a wonderful visit to the distillery. Would highly recommend a visit.

Thoroughly enjoyed our order from the Spey Larder again this year - excellent quality as ever. It has become a family tradition to put in an advance order to collect on Christmas Eve and enjoy a trip to the village. We use the deli year round and have found the staff to be very friendly and knowledgeable about their huge array of produce. The ideal way to stock up on all those delicacies which make the Boxing Day buffet very easy on the cook. Good range of quality cheese and deli items as well as an array of food related gift items - a Speyside gem. Wishing the team well in 2021!

Located in the lovely Speyside village of Aberlour just off the main street - an absolute paradise of Walker's goodies ! All so, so tempting, and even more tempting are the shelves of supposed factory rejects at fantastic prices - shortbread, cakes, mincemeat pies, biscuits at amazing prices. Lovely displays and friendly staff too. A great place to visit.
