Aberlour Abunadh Alba 750 ml

Aberlour A'bunadh Alba is a cask-strength, non-chill-filtered single malt Scotch whisky from Speyside, matured entirely in first-fill ex-bourbon casks — a variation on the standard A'bunadh, which uses sherry casks instead. That bourbon-cask maturation shifts the profile lighter and sweeter than its sherried sibling: vanilla, honey, and orchard fruit lead, with the same round, full body cask strength bottling gives it. Because it's a batch release, proof varies from batch to batch rather than sitting at one fixed number, so treat the cask-strength style as the defining fact rather than an exact ABV. Serve it with a few drops of water to open it up.

How to drink Aberlour A'bunadh Alba

Add a few drops of water before tasting — at cask strength, water opens the vanilla and orchard fruit without diluting the whisky's body away. Neat is fine too if you prefer it undiluted.
