Aberlour - A`bunadh Cask Strength

Aberlour A'bunadh is a celebrated cask strength single malt from the Speyside region of Scotland, where the distillery has operated since 1879 in the village of Aberlour on the banks of the River Spey. The name A'bunadh, meaning 'the original' in Gaelic, pays tribute to the traditional methods used in its creation.

This expression is released in batches without an age statement, allowing the distillery to select casks at their peak maturity rather than adhering to a fixed timeline.

What sets A'bunadh apart is its exclusive maturation in Oloroso sherry butts sourced from Spain, resulting in a rich, full-bodied whisky with pronounced dried fruit and spice characteristics.

Bottled at cask strength, typically between 59 and 62 percent alcohol by volume depending on the batch, this whisky offers enthusiasts the opportunity to experience the spirit as it comes directly from the cask.

Many choose to add a few drops of water to open up additional layers of complexity, though it rewards exploration at full strength as well. The deep amber colour and viscous texture speak to the quality of the sherry cask influence.

A'bunadh has developed a devoted following among those who appreciate bold, sherried Speyside malts with genuine depth and intensity.
