Slight discrepancy, but my batch is printed as 59.6% .. still .. thats enough % to put you into a happy mood for a long time. You can't even taste the potential of this scotch even when served straight, but you'll soon feel it once it kicks in. Beautifully smooth, and a treat to drink, this is a fine mid-price scotch that everyone I've served it to has enjoyed.

Very strong, the taste can be somewhat overpowering, however it sets its self apart from other single malts with it's bold unique taste. Takes a bit of getting used to, however I would most definitely recommend it!

This is my second bottle (different batch numbers).I have quite an eclectic taste when it comes to whiskys with no loyalty to any area or distillery.However My colours are well and truely nailed to the mast now.A'bundadh is my drink of choice now.I find it drinks well with a50/50 mix with water,brings out all the magic of a more exclusive and more expensive malt. I would score this 9/10

I got given batch #16, after a long thought do i drink it or keep it. Well true to what's been said about this whisky. It had a great after taste and a little water or ice really helps. Down side i wish i had not opened it as i can't get the same batch no. good side i got batch#23. this is one i will keep. so 10 out of 10 for this whisky. will buy another one soon to drink this time, but drink it over time to enjoy it. By the way it's a good price, buy while it,s cheap.

I have not found a better scotch than this. Also loved the 100 Proof that came before it. Straight up, or if you let it breathe a bit or on ice, all great with nice subtle differences.

A post Catalina display flight treat in Boras, Sweden and a 'first' for such a high-end whisky. A large dram with water. Result: OUTSTANDING. First thing to do when UK-side is to grab a couple of bottles.

whisky blender for chivas bro's for the past 15 years. this whisky is a pain to make but a pleasure to drink. for the die hard's, drink it straight but be warned ( powerful stuff ) best with a large ice cube left to melt and breath. any comments or if you need advise contact at whiskygalore123@hotmail.com

I bought a few of these: batches 6, 9, 12. Working on 12 even now. God knows I drink it slow but it drinks exceedingly fine. I wish I could get more of 12.

This stuff kicked my palate to crap. I like a little bit of sweetness but this tasted like someone added a fair amount of maple syrup to a helping of sherry; over the top. For what it is, a speyside, it's probably the most rich, flavorful dram from that region But, it's not for me. I think I will stick with my Islay and Highland malts.

just about to crack open a batch 25 at 60.4%. I stumbled across it at batch 18 (56%?) and decided it was the best of two hundred or so other brands that I'd had previously. Let down with a hint of water is nectar. It's the one for me.

I am not a whisky buff but,this nectar, is an exquisite whisky. The aromas and the flavours are wonderful. My son and my son-in-law were both amazed by it. I`ve bought them each a bottle,so now they have my favourite dram when I visit them. I like it as they do with a drop of water. Just what does the more aged and expensive ones taste like! Tell you what,we`ll buy a bottle between us and find out.

GOB SMACKED that you can buy such a smooth, potent whisky at this price. Worthy to grace any collection. I really can't believe the price for this quality.

Tasting Notes from Whiskyfun (Serge Valentin)
One of these famous malts that make us lesser mortals tremble. Batches #11 and 15 have been my favourites so far, let’s see if #20 will join them in the pantheon.
Colour: deep amber with brownish/orangey hues.
Nose: oloroso galore! Very big notes of raisins, chocolate, prunes, cherry liqueur, cloves... All that is nicely dry and even a tad smoky but that may well come from the alcohol. With water: it gets a bit more herbal and slightly wild as well as meatier. Is that English brown sauce?
Mouth (neat): very powerful of course but not undrinkable, quite astonishingly. Big sherry, big raisins, hints of mint and chlorophyll, litres of kirsch (just like when you put your nose over a demijohn)... But let’s not tempt fate – so, with water: gets more herbal again, with notes of thyme and rosemary, sage, bay leaves... Also quite maltier and even a little smoky. Finish: long, coating, elegant (yes) and spicier (pepper and ginger). Shoo, to the pantheon! 90 points. |

Aberlour
The Aberlour Distillery is at the heart of Speyside, the country's premier whisky-making region. No fewer than half of Scotland's malt distilleries are located in Speyside, which is renowned for producing whiskies of subtle depth and elegance. Situated at the junction of the rivers Lour and Spey, the distillery is surrounded by glorious scenery, dominated by the rugged peaks of Ben Rinnes a short distance away. Pure spring water for making the whisky is drawn from the Lour, and the maturing spirit in the warehouse beneficially inhales the moist Speyside air.
