Aberlour A'bunadh

I believe the term is sherry monster. Very complex on the nose, both before and after water. This malt really packs a punch with strong alcohol and dry sherry. I personally struggle with taming the alcohol burn with water which makes me feel like I am missing out on a complex finish alluded to on the nose. For those reasons I generally prefer the Glenfarclas 105; however the few times I've managed to balance this dram properly, it is true bliss: complex, intricate, and satisfying.
