It's Aberlour's ever-popular A'Bunadh single malt Scotch whisky! Each batch of this single malt is matured entirely in Spanish oloroso sherry butts, bestowing huge helpings of dried fruit and festive spice notes to the whisky, after which it's bottled up at full-on cask strength with no chill-filtration.
Zesty notes of chocolate-coated orange wheels join sticky ginger loaf and sherried fruits.
Plump sultanas, prunes, cakey spice, and marmalade, with biscuity malt and toffee apple in tow.
Sweet spices and rich oak linger.
£8.35 - £85.95
I like em round thick and juicy. At cask strength, baby got back.
Not that impressed initially. I felt it lacked the quality of the 53. Silly me. Like a virus it grew on me and now I'm smitten. Big flavour, big kick. A healthy splash of water reveals all its subtleties. God help my liver, but what a way to go.
Thanks for your reply and honest remarks. As a Aberlour A'Bunadha new-be (I began with batch-50), my bottle of batch-50 tastes great to me. Not having tasted any other batches, how would I know any different? But knowing that batch-50 was "off the mark" and that other batches are better is actually really exciting. I am looking forward to opening my bottles of batch-45 and batch-49 as well as to trying other acquired batches. I can only imagine how good they must be. I am excited and looking forward to finding and tasting other batches. It is going to be a great journey and experience. I completely agree with you that the Aberlour distillery is top shelf. I very recently found and purchased a bottle of their basic 10-year that had been sitting on a shelf since 2005. It was so good and brought back such fond memories.
A bit too strong for me to drink it neat. Adding a small block of ice or a teaspoon of water made it deliciously creamy and opened up more flavors, very smooth, and I like this batch 54 more than the Glenlivet 16 Nadurra cask strength.
I'm a lover of sherried whiskies but have resisted buying NAS whiskies because it feels like a "rip-off". I really didn't want to like this as yet another example of the "no age statement" trend and yes I know that A'Bunadh has been going on since 1997. It is though, I have to admit, absolutely fantastic and could well be my new favourite daily tipple. It definitely benefits from adding a little water (I use Evian from glass bottles). Superbly balanced, rich, spicy, smooth, long finish and with that strong sherry aroma I love. Knocks the socks off anything in the Macallan 1824 range most of which are pretty cloying by comparison. If you also like this, you might also want to try The Glenlivet Nàdurra Oloroso OLO614 or Edradour 15yrs The Fairy Flag.
