Aberlour A'bunadh

I am very envious. I have a bottle waiting for my 45 th birthday. Still many months to go. Won't be any left to get a spare by the time I decide I like it. But what can I do? They release it faster than I can drink it...

If you can find an older batch try that first, it's an interesting and engaging malt

Picked up a bottle of batch 45 last night. Will be opening soon. Last batch I finished was 34. Look forward to comparing. Thanks for the review.

I've tried the 32 33, 34,38 and 44. I have many others (27,28,35,36,37,42,45). I bout the 44 to open on my 44th birthday and I did the same with the 45. Sadly, while my birthday was only a few days or weeks after the 44, I have to wait many months before I can do a 45 on my 45th...

I know I'm missing an opportunity to buy more if I like it, but I have so much backlog I'll never drink it all, and I'm sure there will be more batches that are great in the future.

I followed exactly the same procedure last night and was overjoyed to get a nose-ful of marzipan! On my previous nosing of this I'd only really picked up peaches so this was a real delight! Thanks for the review!

Yeah it's good stuff... damp and autumn like in London tonight, fair chance that I'll be pouring a glass

I just received a bottle from batch 45! This is excellent and you are right,On the nose: marzipan and sweet sherry. I also get dark fruit cake, burnt brown sugar and oddly just a whisper of the famous Cherry Blossom Chocolate bars I used to eat as a kid. I tame down the lovely devils in the drink with two or three spoonfuls of water. This is a smooth drink and I love it. I don't get the licorice but definitely marzipan and a suspicion of orange. Who could ask for more. I gave this a 94 without hesitation. My hat is off to the master distiller who put this together! Leo
