A'bunadh, Gaelic for 'the original', is Aberlour's tribute to founder James Fleming. Batch 085 is a cask-strength Speyside single malt at 61.3%, matured exclusively in former Oloroso sherry butts made from Spanish oak and conditioned with Oloroso.
It is neither coloured nor chill-filtered, preserving a robust character of dark fruits, chocolate, spices and oak. The 700ml bottle has the range's characteristic wax seal and is presented in a tube, with a heavy shape recalling historic apothecary bottles.
Tasting Notes
Powerful aromas of raisins, dates and plums with orange peel and baked fruits, plus cinnamon, toffee, caramel and dark chocolate; roasted nuts and oak stay in the background at first.
Full-bodied dark and dried fruits with candied orange, toffee and chocolate; warm spices, fine nuttiness and spicy oak follow.
Long, warm and powerful, beginning with dark fruits and chocolate, then spicy oak, cinnamon and roasted nuts, ending drier with wood, spice and restrained dark sweetness.
