This is a review of Batch 21 , As many would agree Aberlour A'bunadh is one of the finest malts on the market. It is rich , powerful , yet delicate. I love sherry barrels.... Hope you agree with my review. Any comments appreciated.
Nose: dark chocolate cherries , rich fruit stored in old wood , Figs , chocolate with a cognac center.. Taste: Rich , mouth-filling , powerful but yet soft and silky , More Chocolate Cherries , but I get nuts and dates with it. Salted cream crackers , dried fruit.. Figs. Finish:Hot Pepper pot , Must be the massive alcohol content , Chewy Cherry Chocolate nugat, turning to dry oak. Overall: As I stated it is Power and Luxury in a glass , rich explosive powerful yet delicate at the same time. This brand overall is a true sherried heavyweight champion.
Power and luxury indeed... Can't be many bottles of batch 21 left in the world... Just reviewed batch 37... Consistently excellent and am yet to find a worthy cask strength competitor at even triple the price
