Aberlour a’bunadh

[chickenfeet]

This is a lovely dram. Tasted at the LCBO this afternoon, Aberlour a’bunadh is an unfiltered, cask strength malt with a mouthful like butterscotch and oodles of citrus, caramel and smoke notes. I usually prefer Islay and other island malts but this was just lovely.

and me both - I'm very suggestible - and it's just the right moment to dust off the bottle!

mmmmmmm ... whisky. Ooh -- I tried a barley wine aged in a Lagavulin cask last week. Really yummy, if you don't mind the sweet.

Thanks for the rec! We're almost through the Scotch I brought home from England, so . . .

I am fond of regular Abelour, so this sounds very very interesting.

That sounds lovely. I might have to go try it out.

Aberlour is one of the great under-rated malts - the a'bunadh is normally only available duty free, so it's a great treat. Have you tried Glanfarclas?

A long time ago and I don't really remember it.

I wanted to try this at the whisky tasting yesterday, but sadly Aberlour was not present. One of my friends assures me he has a bottle or the a'bunadh and has promised to share, though!
