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.
Literally my favourite drink
better than snapple ever was
Fantastic dram. I enjoy it neat. Chocolate and oranges on the palate are amazing as well as cherries and dried fruit on the finish.
Certainly the best batch I've sampled and I've tried a few. The smoothness and raisin sweetness marked it out.
Had some of this while in Melness Scotland last year and it has set the bar for and spoiled my palette for lesser single malt cask strength whiskys. Delicious! Not for the inexperienced, this needs to be enjoyed sans ice or water. Diminishing these flavors is a disservice to the distiller of this fine whisky. Absolutely outstanding!
