The immensely popular A'Bunadh series from Aberlour has branched out with the A'Bunadh Alba collection, aged in American oak, AKA Quercus Alba. While the original series is a heavily sherried affair, this one matured entirely in American oak bourbon barrels, allowing fresh notes of orchard fruits, toasted nuts, and shortbread to shine.
Soft, juicy stone fruits, tangy citrus, toasted marzipan and hints of banana bread, dusted with nutmeg.
Buttery notes of shortbread and runny caramel are backed by crisp apple, with a tickle of warming pepper and spice beneath.
Delicate citrus zest lingers alongside roasted almonds and a smidge of ginger.
This A'Bunadh doesn't have much of a nose to comment upon, but it does have some good flavors of pear, apple and pineapple along with some oaky malt on the palate. The finish is mostly a lingering bourbon-oak sensation, but it's not too long, as you would expect of a NAS whisky. Overall, I would call the flavor profile "fruity oak". The one fairly significant fault with this whisky is the alcohol burn. You get some on the nose, then quite a bit on the palate and it continues into the finish - it just seems like this is good spirit should have stayed in the cask for another decade or so to smooth out that rough edge. So for @ $90.00 US, I can't recommend it. Price it at $50.00 and it would be something to consider. Carefully.
