Aberlour A'Bunadh Batch 62

About the Aberlour A'Bunadh Batch 62

Aberlour A'Bunadh Batch 62 is a cask strength single malt Scotch whisky from Speyside, Scotland. It matures entirely in first-fill sherry casks. Aberlour distillery was founded in 1879 by James Fleming on the banks of the River Spey. It sits in the village of Aberlour, where the Lour Burn meets the River Spey. The A'Bunadh series is built around one idea: release the whisky exactly as it comes from the cask. Batch 62 reaches the bottle at 59.9% ABV with no dilution and no chill filtration. That means the oils and texture the sherry cask imparts remain fully intact. Expect rich red berry, ripe apricot, and a wave of sweet vanilla on the nose. Orange zest and fresh fruit lift the richness before warm spice takes hold. On the palate, Aberlour A'Bunadh Batch 62 is dense and layered. Cinnamon and warm oak sit alongside dried fruit and dark sugar. The wood contributes depth without hardness. A long, spicy finish carries the heat of the cask strength ABV. The fruit holds its ground all the way through. Aberlour has earned 58 Gold awards and 8 Trophies in major competitions since 1986. The distillery draws water from the Birkenbush spring, a source it has relied on for well over a century. Speyside is known for elegant, fruit-forward single malts. A'Bunadh pushes that style further by dialling up intensity through sherry cask maturation and full cask strength bottling. A'Bunadh is Scottish Gaelic for 'of the origin'. It is a fitting name for a whisky that bypasses filtration and dilution entirely. Drink it neat to experience the full, sherry-driven character.
