Aberlour A'Bunadh Single Malt Scotch Whisky, 70 cl with Gift Box

Product Information

The Aberlour, going by the notes in my wee notebook I kept in the first year, was visceral and monumental, yet the notes section was pretty vague. The energy was there, but the experience clearly wasn't. The first is how far I’ve fallen down the rabbit hole of whisky and, after some rudimentary maths, makes my face flush bright red - I’ve spent a lot of money on liquid that has briefly passed through the conduit of my wibbling facade and out into the national network of underground plumbing.

Whiskybase B.V. (“Whiskybase”, “we” or “us”, company details below) offers a whisky enthusiasts online platform that provides its members access to the most comprehensive, transparent and trusted resource of whisky bottles and allows and stimulates its members to contribute information about whisky bottles to the platform (“Service”). During the 19th century, Scotch whisky was bottled straight from the cask (what today we call “cask strength”) and was not subject to any further dilution. In 1915, shortly after World War I began, in an effort to control drunkenness among industrial workers, the British government reduced the maximum alcohol by volume (ABV) of Scotch whisky on bottling to 37%. This was later raised to 40% in 1917, and this level of ABV has remained the typical bottling strength ever since.

Awards for Aberlour A'Bunadh Alba

Overall: One of the sweeter batches, this a very, very interesting whisky, which continues to open up in the glass. Even though it’s only mid-September, here in Tunbridge Wells we can already feel the crispness of winter in the air and I can tell already this will be on my drinks shelf this Christmas!

Standing now, faced with the wall of glowing amber capsules lining the wall of my whisky nook, a rarified section of my own house where I’m permitted some semblance of freewill to do as I please (let’s not get excited, whatever I do is then assessed by the house committee for aesthetics and neatness), I can’t help but feel a multitude of emotions.

I’ve reconciled my feelings towards my recent Glenrothes raisin fest via the medium of Alistair Walker Whisky Co, and I’ve tried enough sherried whiskies now to know that overtly raisin-like whisky isn’t what gets me going. But I also have to accept my most beloved whiskies that have made me sing from the rooftops have been either oloroso or PX casked Uisge Beatha - Ardnamurchan is at its most joyous for me when it’s sat in some sherry for a while. So this is a non-age stated whisky - a NAS (we all love an acronym). I don’t give one stuff about the opinion that NAS whiskies are lesser whiskies. If it smells great and tastes great, that’s all I really care about. The Glen Scotia Victoriana is a NAS whisky and consistently blows all the doors off. NAS whiskies sit comfortably alongside young whisky for me - it depends on what whisky it is, but some of my most enjoyable moments in whisky have arrived at the hands of young or non-age stated whisky. The Aberlour distillery in Speyside provides a wealth of whiskies to choose from. With both ex-Sherry and ex-Bourbon cask whiskies, and different lengths of ageing, you can select the perfect product for you or for someone you're buying a gift for. This is a good whisky. It gets a little smoother with the addition of a little water. Still, it would be interesting to taste Alba with a few more years of maturation on it. If you are a fan of Aberlour A’bunadh, however, you should certainly give Alba a taste.

If you are a fan of trying something different, Aberlour single malt whisky is an ideal way to expand your Scotch collection, but you might also find our full Scotch whisky selection to be of interest.

Dark fruits coated in cinnamon. Oak. Spice. General Spice. Tomato Sauce. Of all the on-going cask strength whiskies, a’Bunadh is steadfastly in the top three of our “best value for money” malts, because it’s just such an awesome, enveloping dram.
