Aberlour A'bunadh Batch 82 Single Malt Scotch Whisky 700ml 61.2%

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 fruitcake. It is bottled at cask strength resulting in a robust and deeply intense, sherried whisky.

Tasting Notes

Nose - Cherry, Cinnamon, Orange Zest
Aromas of Spiced orange, dark bitter chocolate on the palate harmonising with rich, deep notes of Oloroso Sherry.

Palate - Dried Fruits, Sherry Soaked Oak, Dark Chocolate
Orange, black cherries, dried fruit and ginger spiked with dark bitter chocolate and enriched with Sherry and Oak. Full bodied and creamy.

Finish - Red Fruit, Bitter Sweet Chocolate, Oak Spice
Long and luscious. The sweetness of the red fruit lingers and is eventually replaced by a bitter sweet chocolate, spice and oak. A little water opens up the whisky and reveals more of the fruitier side of the profile, but at the cost of that rich, chewy mouth feel.
