Aberlour A Bunadh Alba

Aberlour's A'bunadh Alba is a Scottish expression from the heart of Speyside that pays homage to the necessity of American produce in whisky making. This exciting release goes against the grain of Aberlour's usual produce - famed for their sherry cask matured whiskies, Alba has spent its maturation period in first fill American oak ex-bourbon barrels. These casks have created a sweet and fruity expression, a far cry from the spicy cocoa flavours the original sherry cask matured A'bunadh boasts.

The expression has been bottled at cask strength 62.7% abv and is free from chill filtration and artificial colouring. Sunlight gold in colour, this whisky has notes of sweet, juicy fruits on the nose with hints of heather honey and warm vanilla. Zesty on the palate, flavours of grapefruit and apple dance across the tongue, complemented by notes of marzipan and shortbread which melts into a delectably smooth finish.
