Aberlour A'Bunadh Single Malt Whisky

Aberlour A’Bunadh is a cask-strength Speyside single malt whisky matured exclusively in Oloroso sherry butts, known for its rich, intense flavour and bold character. The name A’Bunadh means “the original” in Scots Gaelic, and the whisky is crafted as a tribute to Aberlour’s founder, James Fleming. Each batch is handmade and bottled at natural cask strength, typically ranging between 59% and 61% ABV, with no chill filtration and natural colour, preserving its full-bodied texture and depth. The nose is deep and spicy, with aromas of praline, spiced orange, candied zest and golden raisins, alongside hints of nutmeg, cinnamon and walnut. On the palate, it delivers a powerful burst of black cherries, ginger, dark chocolate and cooked stone fruits, balanced by bittersweet marmalade and sweet spice. The finish is long and warming, with lingering notes of oak, orange and cinnamon, showcasing the whisky’s sherried richness. Each batch of A’Bunadh varies slightly in flavour and strength, making it a favourite among collectors and connoisseurs who appreciate its evolving profile. It’s best enjoyed neat or with a few drops of water to unlock its complexity.

Annandale Man O' Sword Founders Selection Bourbon Cask #68 58.9%

Cask 68 from Annandale Distillery sees an ex bourbon maturation producing a pale gold single malt whisky. An initial burst of fresh green Granny Smith apples open up to hints of fresh tropical fruits, caramel, vanilla and gentle peat smoke. The palate has lingering hints of smoky caramel, tropical fruits like melons and mangoes, fresh Granny Smith apple notes once again and oak shavings. The Man O' Sword range is dedicated to King Robert The Bruce - 7th Earl of Annandale, King of Scots and now the namesake of the peated expressions from Annandale Distillery.
