It's been about six or so years since the last review of this whisky, so thought I would offer my opinions on a more recent bottling. This is a vatting of half oloroso and half ex-bourbon casks, aged…

Neat at Prime, Imperial Hotel lobby bar (Prague.)A deep golden clear pour with a subtle greenish cast. Curious little detail: there are virtually no legs.Aroma is not too intense: custard, vanilla, pine…

As most of you know by now, I have liked Aberlour A’Bunadh from the outset of my whisky journey which began in earnest in 2011. In the early years I would buy at least one of every batch that I could get…
