Aberlour Scotch Single Malt Cask Strength A'bunadh

A'bunadh, Gaelic for 'of the origin', is matured exclusively in Oloroso ex-sherry butts. It is a natural cask-strength malt whisky produced without the use of modern-day chill filtering methods or the addition of water. Colour Deep, rich amber 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. A'bunadh is matured entirely in Spanish oak oloroso butts, non-chill filtered, and bottled at cask strength. This edition is very rich, with dark berry notes on the nose, hazelnuts, caramel, cinnamon, and orange fondant creams. The palate is full and supple, with polished oak, honey, new leather, raisins, prunes, and a hint of cloves. Very long in the finish, with plain chocolate, black pepper, fruity spices, and oak.Reviewed by: Gavin Smith (Summer 2018)
