Aberlour A’bunadh Batch #65

A'Bunadh is a series that put the Aberlour distillery on the map, so to speak - the launch of this series in 1997 significantly boosted its popularity around the world. This is batch #65 released in 2019. This single malt comes at a strength of 59.9% which has to do with a tradition that dates back to the 19th century when villagers would come to the distillery to collect their whisky straight from the cask. They often used bottles they got from the local chemist which is reflected in the bottle's apothecary design. A'Bunadh #65, like all expressions of this series, has an incredible colour to which no photo does justice. Have a taste yourself, appreciate its colour and take a stab at guessing this dram's age.
