Aberlour A'bunadh Batch 74 Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky 700mL

Batch 074

Meaning ‘the original’ in Gaelic, A’bunadh is made in homage to Aberlour’s founder, James Fleming. A’bunadh is a whisky hand-made from start to finish with each batch being created to ensure a rich and complex flavour of moist raisin, and homemade fruit cake. It is bottled at cask strength resulting in a robust and deeply intense, sherried whisky.

Tasting Notes:

Colour: Auburn gold.

Nose: Aromas of mixed spices, praline and spiced orange harmonising with rich, deep notes of Oloroso Sherry.

Palate: Orange, black cherries, dried fruit and ginger spiked with dark bitter chocolate and enriched with Sherry and Oak. Full bodied and creamy.

Finish: Robust and intense with bitter-sweet notes of exotic spices, dark chocolate and oak.

"Incredible, I was watching the counter go up gradually, from let's say 78 to this well-deserved 88. Take your time!" - Serge, Whisky Fun (88 Points - Batch 74)

"As expected, there are loads of sherry wine aromas, but banana and ginger are found as well. As this is cask strength, one should add a few drops of water for the tasting profile to expand. A closed wood spiced taste will develop into sweet berry-licious flavors in no time." - Stephanie Moreno, Distiller (88 Points)
