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.
I'm really impressed by this. Massive blast of sherry and cherries on the nose, strong notes of cinnamon and pepper on the tongue with just the right amount of kick, balanced by sweetness and so smooth that I can't believe it is over 60% proof. No need to add water, it's perfect as is.
Unfortunately the steep price hike has left this whisky with a very bitter aftertaste, I'm looking elsewhere from now on
This is an absolutely excellent dram, but at the new price they won't get my custom again.
...weep that prices are up to the sky, and they are yet to rise!?
Used to be a great every day dram but loads better out there for the price after the increase. Seriously overpriced
