Behold, the 63rd batch of A'Bunadh from Aberlour! This expression is well-known for it's particular intense flavour profile, imparted by the maturation in Spanish Oloroso sherry butts and by being bottled at cask strength - this batch, it sits at a burly 61% ABV. Also, 63 is the atomic number of Europium. That's a fun fact that you can bring to parties alongside this bottle. Much better than turning up with no facts and tasty whisky.
View all batches of A'bunadh here.
Nose: Buttered malt loaf, sherried peels, spearmint and Christmas cake.
Palate: Dark chocolate mousse and yet more Christmas cake richness. Cinnamon and white pepper give it plenty of heat.
Finish: Very slightly earthy on the finish, though dried fruit and sugared almond notes remain.

Not often at all do I give 5 stars. This was on offer (big bonus and proberly why I went for 5 start and not 4.5)What can I say? Imagine biting into an real big juicy Xmas cake. The drizzle, the sticky aroma of sherry, fruits, nuts giving this huge richness of flavours. This truly has deep flavours. Bravo. Honestly, if you l like sherry whiskys then this is spot on. Expensive yeah, but try get this on offer and thank me later.

lots of fruits and power here. needs a fair amount of water to make this a very good dram indeed. for me its probably down to 46% now but nice, rich, fruity and deep. lovely fruity, nutty cake is prominent but plenty of other things here to to find.struth

Coming from brighton we love our drink,. This batch is my favourite. No 63, although 60 was just as nice. highly recommended for beginners of scotch and the life long consumers of all whiskeys.. just be warned to beginners it packs a punch,.. what's powerful with flavours of true single malt. Adding a splash of water in a tasting glass really inhances its smells and taste. Price is something you have to suck up for the enjoyment of all whiskey flavours, delivery has always been fast and carefully packed.

The flavors keep coming, a 10/10 in my books

In Ontario the only way I know how to get alcohol is through LCBO. I am the biggest fan of Gretzgy Red Cask. My liquor store(LCBO) stopped stalking Gretzgy. Therefore, time to experiment. From Canadian whisky I decided to go to scotch. I'm very happy with scotch. I bought 2 bottles of A'Bunadh, #66. Unbelievable! It is like Gretzgy in his prime on steroids. Everything I loved about Gretzgy Red Cask but extreme.Aberlour absolutely nails this honest dram.

Pricing is on the upper mid tier, but this is the one that's worth the money if you ask me. This one is slightly less acidic than previous batches, so a bit less zest to the fruit. However, it's compensated for this with having the leathery taste be a lot broader. I definitely like this expression a lot more.If you're looking for an earthy, but not smoked, a fruity ,but not sweet Whisky, with a warm tone with small hints of vanilla, this is definitely a solid choice. Tasting this for the first time was like walking into an old time grocers store, with that man with the glasses behind the counter that could sell you anything from medicine to cabbage heads. That warm feeling is something that I'll always appreciate with this dram.

Bought batch 64 for myself...It's a wonderful, complex dram, truly superb and worth anyones money. Bought batch 65 for a friends birthday and tried it, arguably even better. The fruitiness in batch 65 is just another level and eclipses my batch 64 I'm sorry to say. It's good stuff and a no brainer for anyone who likes sherried whiskies. Also takes water really well in case the ABV scares you.

I am having batch 65 right now, my third dram in the row, so excuse me If I am a bit over enthusiastic, It is my second bottle of the batch 65 (One bottle will be left for the endgame), go figure, and this one is about 40% left. Color wise not as dark as previous ones, but still very dark. OF course with aberlour you get no fake colors (sugar). In my current rotation of 14 opened bottles it seats on 1st place, followed very closely (almost a tie, it depends on a day) with 61.8% peated Livet nadurra 2017, batch pw0717, and there is miles of nothing....And I have woodford, JDSB, four roses SB, few cognacs... Yup. It is a stacker. Easy 90+ in my book.

Firstly I am not a whisky drinker so can’t comment on the taste but it is my sister’s very favourite drink but as the price has increased so much it’s now a rare treat for her. The price here was good with 15% discount so both her and my son are having a cherished bottle as a Christmas gift. Purchase was very straight forward and super quick delivery. I’m sure both of them will enjoy it

Have the #60 and when my boy comes round we finish with a glass no water no ice no stones just pure whiskey. By far this whiskey is so smooth and rich it is a comfort drink. Enjoy.

Zacapa xo for your lady, remy martin xo for your other lady, martell xo for yourself because the bottle is F sick in your hand, but..when you are alone in your man's cave, a man in your 40-60s who has it all, got it all, dont wanna waist your hard earned cash on Macallan, man...saying this is expensive and rubbish is just pure travesty and trolling. Actually I am having B 64 right now (I had B 63 to), and this stuff is just phenomenal. It feels like being out of this Planet. Super sweet, super strong nose. If you have a cold in your nose, those bacterial and viruses will just probably be annilihiated! Mouth feel? Sort of like Hennessy vsop, jack SB in strength, a bit morr of c, yet somehow you can still role it in your mouth a bit, to get pleasures. Guys...Nothing I have tried can really compare. And I am old dude with experience.

A'Bunadh...This Whiskey is just absolutely beautiful...
22nd October 2019
Was able to find it about 35% cheaper than listed here (thank you Taiwan) an purchased batch 64. Batch 64 was the darkest of all batches the store had (63, 62, 61, 58, 55, 52) but as I've never tried the others I'm unable to say whether that means anything. What I can say is it's a fine sherried whisky, doesn't drink like the abv suggests, has a gorgeous nose, a really nice palate, and a really long finish. For the price listed here is rather just pay a bit extra for Glendronach 18, but for what I paid I was more than happy, a really, really good whisky.
This used to be the epitome of exceptional quality at exceptional value, but Pernod Ricard's greed has ruined it.

One of the best, needs to have a splash of water to let the flavours truly develop as 59.9%. So smooth. Easily up there with the best ive tasted.

There is nothing like it outhere. And I have had a lot. Made from pure water from SCO. Cast strenght. 60-61% ABV. Super sweet. Super woody. Batches 60, 63, 64, just buy as many as you can. Stack it. Empty the shelves. I mean it. Thank me later in the forums. Aberlour is the new Macallan down the road. Aberlour is making great stuff. Even A12DCF is a super every day drink. Batch 60 might be a little better than batch 63, 64. Combine it from Lasko single malt lager beer, or Karlovacko single lager beer made from famous Slovenian water! Yup. Life is good!! Price is high? Whatever guys. We work. We deserve it. Do we not?

I am having " threesome " with Abunadh 63 (61% ABV), Jack SB L7 18-7192 10.4.18 (45% ABV) and Four Roses SB RS 50-6F (50% ABV). Abunadh beats them easily. Dont get me wrong. They are all superior juice 10/10, all dark, woody, real mans drinks, its more like comparing bentley or RR, to a Merc class S, BMW or Audi. I wish I had a chance to taste those famous previous batches. To me its worth putting one aside for rainy days. Easy 92% to me.

Aberlour A'Bunadh Batch 63 - a bit thin. Not like any of the previous batches.Price has almost doubled.
17th July 2019
A'Bunadh has always been a delicious whisky for its age but nearly £80 for such young spirit is crazy - that price has more than doubled over the last 5 years.It used to be a great example of young whisky sold at a fair price. Now it's prohibitively expensive. A victim of popularity perhaps?
