• Aberlour – A’Bunadh Cask Strength Single Malt 750ml ($64.99)
  96-100 points Wine Enthusiast: “Intriguing and challenging bouquet of aromas of roasted nuts, old leather, black pepper, old oak and dried fruit. Palate entry is aggressive in spirit, but sweet and pruny; midpalate is drier and features tastes of leather and grain. Aftertaste teems with oak resin, hard cheese (meaning, rancio), candied nuts, candied fruit and dark honey. Add mineral water.” (12/2009) 90 points Whisky Advocate: “Amber, with shades of ruby. Notes of complex honey-drenched fruit (sultana, marmalade, peaches, apples), toffee, treacle, and hint of mint. Full, rich texture and lush body. Long, warming, moderately spicy finish. (Vol. 17, #2)” Wine Spectator: “Brave the cask-strength heat and be rewarded by a malt that’s welcoming and complex. Sherry and cherry dominate at first, but a cereal-granola-honey quality and a licorice note flirt from behind the curtain. The essential candy element returns on the finish. ” (02/2011) K&L Notes: Pronounced “a-boon-arh,” which means “the origin” in Gaelic. Made the way whisky was produced in the 1800s, A’bunadh from Aberlour is not chilled-filtered and is bottled at a cask strength 59.5%. Slowly matured in rare Oloroso sherry butts, this malt is filled with rich, smooth, complex flavors.
