There has been a lot said and writen about A'Bunadh and I must say right from the outset that I wasn't disappointed. This review is for batch 42. I could embroider this review with ostentatious superlatives but this drop speaks for itself.

The nose is sweet, spicy, orange peel with sherry overtones.

It feels smooth with a rich oily texture which rolls over the tongue. Black cherries with dark chocolate lead to spices and a buttery creamy sherry.

The finish is smooth with a bitter sweet tang, spiced fruit and oak.

I am very impressed, it is classy and I have found a new friend for life.

I am anxiously waiting for my local liquor stores to get the #42 in, still 41 on the shelves. Glad to read all these positive reviews!

This was my first batch so I have nothing to compare in to. That said, in my opinion it's very good.

I have a couple of bottles of this. One to try and one to save and drink in the future ( though if they continue to make new batches that future will never come...). I bought 2 on spec because most batches are good, and also because I wanted to have a batch 42 in the archives. I was turned 42 the year I really started getting into Whisky, and anyone who has read Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy knows that 42 is "the answer to life the universe and everything". Whisky being "water of life"' that batch MUST be the answer!
