A'Bunadh Single Malt Scotch Whisky, 61.2% ABV, 70cl with Gift Box

A staggering whisky......in every sense of the word!! It is cask strength, meaning that the alcohol content is very high, 60%+, so it is very powerful. But the depth and intensity of the aromas and tastes are phenomenal. The intensity of fruit is really something to behold, complex dried fruit, Christmas cake, dried apricots, stored apples, drying raisins....a wonderful medley of exotic and spiced fruits all held together by a very real sense of the wood....you can really taste the sherry soaked oak. The whisky is Aberlour's reproduction of the original Aberlour whisky. The whisky is created in batches according to the particular take that each distiller has on the original concept. Each batch is therefore subtly different from the others. It perhaps isn't a whisky for the newcomer. It would be a perfect after dinner whisky. A very small amount of water can bring this incredible concentrate of aromas and taste sensations to open like the petals of a flower....just don't drown it! The perfect Christmas gift! Had to buy a couple more bottles as it is on offer at the moment Oct/Nov 2017. Now onto Batch 59....slightly lower alcohol content.... Have now tasted both the 58 and 59....the 58 is very rounded, soft and woody and exceptional. The 59 is also very good but not as complex or full as the 58. My single malt buddy and I have compared the two and found that the 58 is exceptional, the 59 less so but still good, the 59 is woody, harsher than the 58, less fuller in flavour, less rounded, less complex in terms of spice and wood taste and aromas. It tastes as though the 59 spent a lot less time in barrels or that the barrels were almost exhausted. It's so interesting to taste them side by side, how incredibly different they are. The 58 is better but the 59 is still worth £38. What a wonderful world of spirit the distillers have created...a landscape of colours and sensations. I totally take my hat off to the Aberlour distillers...sensational stuff...

Sorry didn't actually, buy it from Amazon, but I am a fan of Amazon so thought I'd add my two pennies worth. I firstly admit I'm not that experienced when it comes to Whisky, and only tried a couple of so prior to buying Aberlour ( e.g. Bells, Teachers, Glenfiddick). This is definitely a quality product ( very strong through, so is worth adding a little bit of water ). Nice heavy and well presented bottle. When pulling out the cork there is a very welcoming scent. I pour it into my crystal cut glass (my wonderful girlfriend bought me a set with decanter, which adds a wonderful aspect to the whole experience ). The dark-ish amber colour looks wonderful ( I pref darker to paler ). I liked to sip, let it linger on my pallet a while to get the full benefit of the taste and feel the heat rise and fall before finally swallowing. I love the spicy, fruity sherried flavours. There is also a really nice lingering aftertaste. I've been told that Amazon occasionally do a very good deal on this whisky, so I keep looking back to this site just in case ( currently about £47 ). When it drops low enough I intent to buy a couple or 3 bottles ( Keep me posted Amazon ).

Great quality and wonderful tasting Oloroso sherry cask matured whisky. At cask strength it can be drank at full strength or diluted down to whatever strength is personally preferred giving ultimate flexibilty of strength and flavour whatever drinking requirements are at the time. Used to be exceptional value for money until a couple of years ago. Unfortunately since then French owners Pernod Ricard have become over ambitious on increasing their profit margins on this product which has translated into retail prices going up by more than 100% within this time. Now this whisky is not the good value it used to be. At it’s current price, there are now similar alternative whiskies which present better value for money and which may cause sales of Aberlour A’Bunadh to decline in future. Whether reduced sales volume of this product at higher margins improves Aberlour’s overall whisky sale’s profitability is solely in the gift of their senior management. Whatever, bottom line for consumer’s is only bad news.

Well as i write this full of the Golden necter you must forgive my grammar and typing errors because i have gone blind. Only kidding. This has to be one of the best whiskies in the world for the average Joe. What flavour depth and taste. Its incredible. If your £5,000 whiskies taste this good and no more save yirsel a few quid and buy this. Its superb. I was apprehensive before it arrived because i Love Sherry cask finishes and Glenmorangie Lasanta has been a whisky i have trumpeted for years but this blows it clean out of the water. Yes its 60.7 abv but i have been sitting here for the last 2 hours supping away at it, straight and it s as smooth as smooth could be. Glenmorangie youve been cheating on the Olorosso Sherry. Just been checking the price again here as it is a bargain but my wife will know ive ordered another a kick my stones if i order again. Aberlour A'Bunadh......take a bow. #Respect

I love Aberlour, and thought I would treat myself to this one. It is very smooth and has many of the qualities of Aberlour single malts. However it’s very sweet. It is like the desert wine of whiskey. I don’t dislike it at all, but I wouldn’t pay this much for it again. If you like very sweet whiskeys, it may be perfect for you.

My nephew didn't have an alcoholic drink until he was 30, and now he drinks this! It's a very strong, powerful, peaty whisky, which most people struggle with. But it appears to be a marmite drink - if you love it, you really love it. It's expensive, but on the other hand, you don't drink a lot of it in one session! I bought this for my nephew's Christmas present and it was very well received.

I was at a whisky tasting and almost didn't try this, as I'd had a punt on a bottle of the Aberlour 10 a while ago and found it to be bland and rather pointless. By god I'm glad I had a sip! I can't take A'Bunadh neat, but with splash of water it's the most delightful warm, complex and aromatic drink. I've gone through a few bottles now, and although my palette can't distinguish between the different batches (not that I've tried having two open at the same time... hmmm there's an idea for a quiet evening) it is a continuing joy. It's not the be-all and end-all of whiskies, but it's one that I always buy when I see it on special, as I know I'll drink it and I'd hate to run out. It's an easy way to impress a guest who's a casual whisky drinker, and with a touch more water, even those who find whisky too harsh. A'Bunadh has taken its place as one of my few absolute favourites.

A'bunadh is a deliciously complex whisky, with superb initial almost organgey flavour, a smooth slight berry-flavour on the palate, and a lingering warm glowing after-taste. It comes from a top quality distillery (Aberlour). It is perfectly drinkable without anything added as its smoothness and flavour do not require any addition of water, ice or mixer. I took it to an event in a hip-flask and everyone loved it! My version was batch 77, 61% proof - and got it at a bargain price.

Fast delivery, very good Price and quality, happy to purchase it!

Achat plaisir pour marquer une occasion spéciale, parfait, reçu batch 074 a 60.0%, conforme a mes attentes, envoi très rapide ( reçu bien avant le délai initial annoncé ) et soigné, reste plus qu'a apprécier ce doux nectar, avec ou sans modération selon les gouts de chacun et surtout la tolerance car vu le titrage faut bien dire que ça cogne bien après 2-3 shots ;)

A favourite for many years

シェリー系が好みで、日頃はEDRADOUR１０年、BUSHMILLS BLACKやWHYTE＆MACKAYを飲んでいます。クリスマスお正月用にABERLOUR A'BUNADHを買ってみました。コルク栓を抜いた瞬間漂う素晴らしい香り、少し舐めてみると濃厚で口いっぱいに広がる美味しさ。カスクストレングス感動ものです。食後に好きな音楽を聴きながらストレートもしくは少し加水してチビチビやるのがいいですね。

Non è certamente un prodotto per tutti, perché al palato difficilmente incontra il gusto del normale bevitore. Come noto, ed è tipico dei Cask, ogni bottiglia ha una gradazione diversa (o, per meglio dire, ogni barile ha una gradazione diversa, ma trovare 2 bottiglie che contengono il liquore proveniente dallo stesso Cask è altamente improbabile, per non dire impossibile). La mia aveva una percentuale di alcol pari al 61,9%; va bevuto nel modo giusto e mai a fine pasto. Colore legnoso e conturbante, corpo potente, fragranze di vario genere che si susseguono da quando lo si assapora sino al termine della lunga persistenza del sorso. Probabilmente dal costo un po' eccessivo, ma ne vale la pena. Tutti i premi che ha vinto sono assolutamente meritati.
