OPINIONS ON ABERLOUR A'BUNADH
Aberlour A'bunadh
Speyside cake.
ABV: 59%
Colour: Amontillado Sherry
The flavors are so intense and layered, making this whiskey a fun experiment where you can add little bit of water each time to see just how the complexity of its flavors unfold. It also has a lovely rum tone to its noise, amazing
I have recently been venturing outside my peat scotch comfort zone, just tried acquired the Glenfarclas 15y, Glendronach 15y revival and the A'bunadh. A'bunadh came out top by a country mile. Dont get me wrong, the other two are just gorgeous, but I loved the FULL BODY A'bunadh just that much more.
Aberlour 10 Year Old
Aberlour 10- Good and Simple
My friend got me a bottle of Aberlour 10 year old as a gift, and so far I like it more than Macallan 12 year old.
Nose: Cinnamon, dark fruits, vanilla, a touch of chocolate
Palate: Cinnamon, apricots, peaches, vanilla, chocolate
Finish: Vanilla, dark fruits, spice
Good whisky the only way I can put it, while I would not say it is fantastic i do enjoy it.
Arran 10 Year Old
This is the entry level Arran single malt. Launched in 2006, it is
matured in about 70% second-fill sherry casks, with the remaining 30%
split between bourbon and first-fill sherry casks.
The colour is a light honey. On the nose, banana
seems to be the dominant note. Malty, slightly herbal, Mackintosh toffee
and lemon pith. Water opens the malt up nicely. Very clean and fresh.
On the palate, very bright and young with more
citrus notes, vanilla, tropical fruits and spice (cumin?). Some sour
apple adds a bit of tang. Water ups the spice a little. Again, very
fresh and sprightly.
The finish has both depth and elegance, with
lingering vanilla and toffee. Spicy and fruity. This is a lovely
everyday malt. It could use a bit more body and complexity, but like
everything I've had from this distillery, it is well worth
savouring.
Did you know that Johnnie Walker Red Label did not have a visible age statement and colour on the label?
