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.

The divergence of sweet and heat come together to make something special. This whiskey is a bargain. I'm going to buy two each year, one to enjoy, and one to collect!
I'm having this fantastic scotch as I'm writing this review. Powerful yet beautifully smooth for a single malt with 60% alcohol. Great sweetness with the right amount of bitterness. Almost feels like great quality Portuguese aged moonshine (aguardente). I taste dried figs or raisins. Very sweet aromas of dried fruits, vanilla, chocolate and a little orange. I like.
Love it, now we talking cherry bombs, boom!
Aberlour is one of my two favorites Scotches. With The A'Bunadh being on top (love the 10&12 too). It is the perfect balance of orange, spice, sherry and oak. The raisins and cocoa are a nice finish. Watch out... Higher than normal alcohol proof! Drink it neat, and if you must, sip some decent h2o in between.
