NC2 stands for "non-coloured" and "non-chill-filtered" and as such bottlers Duncan Taylor proudly proclaim this range as "completely natural". Each cask in the NC2 range is matured at it's original distillery and hand-picked for bottling by Duncan Taylor.
The Distillery at Aberlour (gaelic for "mouth of the chattering stream") is located in a glen between the rivers Lour and Spey overlooked by the peaks of Ben Rinnes. Utilising pure spring water and the moist Speyside atmosphere, Abelour whiskies are surprisingly complex and multi-layered.
