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.

What a beauty. I enjoy a rather broad range of whisky's. I've enjoyed many single malts, sherry, port or bourbon barrel-aged whisky's, peated malts, single grains, etc, etc. even some blends and a few bourbons, all varying from €20 to €1200. Aberlour A'Bunadh batch 55 is one of my favourites, and at about €52, that is freakin CHEAP! one of the cheaper whisky's in my collection even. I haven't tasted a Sherry cask whisky better than this one. The sherry is clearly present in the aroma. i also detect a hint of orange zest, maybe some rosé wine tannins, a bit of dark chocolate, and a pleasent, sweet herbal note towards the end. despite the cask strength (60.9%) it's a very easy drinking dram. I don't have a single bad word to say about this. Perfection?
This is my first experience tasting/buying a whisky from Aberlour. It does not disappoint. Reminds me a little of the Macallan 10 years single cask - although not as warm. It has a semi long aftertaste where youcan taste the nuances of the oak and sherry and yes chocolate. It is not as sweet as other sherry barrels. Although it needs a drop of water it really surprises you and makes you want more. Pure genius
At 60.9% it packs quite a punch, but the quality shines through without being overpowered by the alcohol. Ive bought previous batches of A'Bunadh, and from what i can remember this is the best. It's a tad too strong for me to properly enjoy without water, so i add a drop and give it 10 mins to open up before enjoying it one small sip at a time.
Hmm - I'm really not sure of this one - straight from the bottle is overpowering and unpleasant. Heaps of water and yes, spice, marmalade sweet and smooth - I'm getting it now - I think this one improves from 1/3 of water and a bit of breathing to let off the toxic flavours - and don't try it straight. I think this is why I was struggling with it.
