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.

Amazing whiskey. I would not listen to any of the bad reviews here. A rating based on price is no rating at all. It's a whiskey review, not a price review. Fantastic in every way.
I think the team at Aberlour have been drinking too much of this stuff and someone came up with the crazy price hike idea to double up to £80! This was always £35-£45 depending on supermarket deals. Never in a million years would I pay over £50 for this. One longtime customer lost.
One of my favorite's for not ridiculous money. Loved batch 43 and 55 also.
20+ releases of pure, sherry cask indulgence. Years and years of enjoyment. All over in one gigantic price hike by Pernod Ricard. Over £20 in one go. They obviously thought it would lines the pockets - it’s instead emptied the fan club. No more Aberlour A’Bunadh for this devotee.
Some years ago I discovered this whisky, around batch 45/46. It honestly blew me away. Not the most subtle of sherry bombs, not the smoothest, not the most rounded. But what it lacked in finesse it made up for with sheer force of character and and focus on delivering something very particular. And it did this at a great price. I said as much in my initial review and bemoaned the day when, as the best value whisky for the money, this would inevitability change for the worse. Looks like that day is well and truly here. Pernod Ricard's price hike on the Aberlour A'Bunadh has achieved the one thing that I thought would never happen, me not buying the product. But there it is, there's only so much you can charge for anything before you hit the price/reward wall and they smashed into that well and truly. The price bump has driven away so, so many avid fans, the people who looked forward to every release and always bout a couple of bottles. It's a real shame. Off to Glendronach we go....
