Aberlour A'bunadh Batch #6
Aberlour A'bunadh Batch #6, NAS, 59.9 %
This particular Aberlour A’bunadh was released in 1999. It was matured in Spanish oak oloroso sherry butts.
Nose: Cool, earthy and sherry-like. Cinnamon, nutmeg, and almond paste. With time it just becomes gorgeous. Christmas pudding and dried fruits. More and more rich, deeper aromas and more sherry sweetness. There's no detectable oakiness.
Taste: Rich, creamy and full bodied. The same earthy sherry notes that I found on the nose. Vanilla and caramel pudding.
Finish: Medium to long finish. Lovely creamy sherry and vanilla notes all the way.
Comment: It is not very complex, but very enjoyable. A classic!
