About the Aberlour A'Bunadh Batch 70

Aberlour A'Bunadh Batch 70 is a cask strength single malt Scotch whisky from the Speyside region of Scotland. Made at the Aberlour distillery, it is matured fully in Spanish Oloroso sherry casks. The name A'Bunadh is Gaelic for "the original". It nods to a bottle of 1898 Aberlour found in a time capsule in 1975. This is sherry whisky at full power. Each batch is bottled at cask strength and left non-chill filtered. Batch 70 lands at a hefty 61.2% ABV. There is no age statement here. Instead, the distillery numbers each small batch so you know exactly which release you have. The Oloroso casks do the heavy lifting on flavour. You get waves of dark cherry and dried fruit up front. A thick honey sweetness follows, balanced by malty richness and warm spice. Hints of fresh fruit and orange peel keep it lively. The long finish leaves cocoa and oak on the tongue. Aberlour sits beside the Lour burn in the heart of Speyside. The distillery has built its name on rich, sherry-led single malt whisky. A'Bunadh is its boldest statement of that style. It rewards patience and a careful pour. Drink Aberlour A'Bunadh Batch 70 neat to feel its full force. A small splash of water opens up the sweet, fruity notes and softens the strength. This is a Speyside single malt for anyone who loves big sherry character. The bold fruit and spice reward a patient, unhurried glass. It remains one of the most sought after cask strength whiskies in Scotland.
