Aberlour A'bunadh

This review is dated from back in November, just transcribing it here. The A'bunadh is a really special dram, most certainly one of my favourites.

Nose: Surprisingly subtle, it opens up after adding some water. Sherry, oranges, spiced toffee.

Taste: Starts off sweet, then the spice comes in. Chocolate and caramel, raisins, fruit cake. Lots of body.

Finish: Long and lovely, but doesn't overpower. A gentle burn.

Conclusion: "Like bottled Christmas" (Lawson, on thewhiskyexchange.com). A cracker of a dram, I'll be looking out for future batches as well, both for comparison and because I expect them to be well worth it.
