Thick and heavily laden. Fudge. Caramel. Raisins. Figs. Raisins. Dates. Strawberries and Butterscotch. Sweet, deep and fruity.
Sweet but hot, even with a little more time in the Glencairn (15 minutes is my usual resting period). There's sherry for sure - figs and dates and raisins. There's thick fudge and cherries. Dark chocolate and more caramel rise. It's delicious, intense and fruity.
Long and slightly punishing but for 120+pf, it's really not unexpected. Punchy and thick, it's really deep and complex. Massive fudge and sherry with little spice or clove.
Everyone makes a big deal about age statements (myself included) but this expression from Aberlour really reminds me that age isn't everything. Aberlour consistently shines with the A'Bunadh. Its a favorite of mine. With all of this said, I score the Aberlour A'Bunadh Batch 45 a 7: well above average. In scotchland the herd is much thinner here - the A'Bunadh sits majestically among other favorites like GlenDronach CS, Compass Box, This is Not a Luxury Whiskey, Springbank 12 Cask Strength and GlenDronach 12 (2013 Bottling). Thanks for reading!
