About Aberlour A’bunadh Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Aberlour A’bunadh Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a tribute to that 1898 bottle of Scotch.
Released in limited-run batches, the whisky is matured in Spanish oak casks previously used to age Oloroso sherry, a dark and nutty type of fortified wine.
The Oloroso sherry casks, which are some of the rarest and most precious casks used for maturation, impart subtle yet sweet notes of dried fruits and caramel to the whisky, and add an incredible layer of complexity.
After maturation, the non-chill filtered whisky is bottled at cask strength (it is never diluted with water) in bottles reminiscent of old apothecary bottles used by 19th century villagers to collect Scotch directly from barrels.
Aberlour A’bunadh (which is Scottish Gaelic for “origin”) has a slightly smoky aroma with hints of red apples and caramel. It has a rich mouthfeel, and a buttery, creamy palate.
A’bunadh earned the highest recommendation from Wine Enthusiast and the title “Best in Class”at the Speyside Whisky Festival Awards in 2011.
