"Aberlour A'Bunadh Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky: Pronounced a-BOON-arh. Aged in Oloroso Sherry casks and not run through the chill-filtering process that most single malts are subjected to. Medium amber color. Toasty and malty on first sniffing; exposure to air brings the piquant spirit alive, but it doesn't overshadow the toasty malt. On the final pass a trace of sherry emerges. First taste is sassy, oily and spirity; mid-palate is very oily, sleek and rife with bittersweet flavors of cocoa, soot and fruit pit. To its credit, the tangy spirit is quiet at midpalate but explodes in the aftertaste, making for a combustible but exceedingly pleasing finish." 90-95 Points - Wine Enthusiast, May, 2001 |
