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.
Lovely great flavor one of my favorite highland drams.
Smooth and creamy goodness. Strong yet enjoyable. Heavily sherried but sherry does not overpower the other characteristics. Spicy boldness. The whiskey finishes with a lingering warmth.
Is good.i have bought 4 of them, very good whisky, top notch!
A great Scotch to be sure and one I will keep on my counter for frequent revisits. I will raise a glass to you, Austin, each time I open a taste the A'Bunadh, and say a prayer for you and a prayer of thanks that I get to enjoy good health. Godspeed to you my friend. May you experience one of God's miracles and continue to enjoy good Scotch.
This scotch is almost indescribable. The first nose is of intense chocolate, then the rich sherry, with hints of caramel rolled in. The taste breaks across your tongue with almost unfathomable thickness, richness, till the detection of creme brûlée , or good ole Werther's Originals butterscotch. The heat comes strong and long with this cask-strength single malt. Finish comes off with a nice malted hue, almost beer. Adding some ice water opens this dram nicely, with candied dates and figs to the nose, amongst the sherry. Taste and finish are equally indescribable as the initial but with new qualities and flavors. All in all, this is the most complex single malt in my collection to date. A wonderful experience and a highly enjoyable drink.
