Aberlour A'Bunadh Alba Bottling Note
Aberlour's immensely popular A'Bunadh has grown with the introduction of A'Bunadh Alba! The name is a reference to Quercus Alba, which is the name of the American white oak which is used to age this very whisky. Drawn exclusively from first-fill American oak ex-bourbon barrels, this expression shows off a different side of Aberlour – you may be more familiar with its heavily sherried drams, but this one is more about fresh orchard fruits, shortbread, and almond notes.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose: Apricot, grapefruit zest, marzipan, banana fritters, and a good helping of nutmeg.
Palate: Shortbread, green apple, caramel, more nutmeg now paired with a crackle of black pepper.
Finish: Toasted almonds and hints of orange peel.
