The Aberlour 10 year old should be a staple of anyones whisky cabinet, collection or stash. I've heard really good things about the Aberlour a'bunadh but that doesn't mean that you should bypass the 10 year and skip straight to the old stuff in the fancy bottle. A lovely caramel colour, It has quite an interesting nose, not just the classic speyside sherry. There's something really quite interesting hidden in there, almost like eucalyptus which also persists in the taste. There's a dryness and citrus like quality on the tongue that is similar to the French Oak finished Glenlivet. What makes it even sweeter is that Sommerfields is currently knocking £10 off a bottle, meaning you can aquire a bottle for a steal at £15. No excuses.

Hooochie mama.... that sounds quite a brew! I'll definitely take you up on that. Thanks!

Worryingly, I've developed quite a taste for the A'Bunadh, with my current bottle weighing in at a hefty 61% abv. I'll make sure you get some next time you're in the Burgh! But you're right - their standard bottle is perfectly enjoyable too.
