The Aberlour A'bunadh Batch #67 is a singular expression of Speyside craftsmanship, distilled at the revered Aberlour Distillery and bottled in 2020. This high-proof single malt Scotch whisky, with an ABV of 59.8%, is a cask-strength marvel that honors traditional 19th-century Scottish whisky-making methods, aptly reflected in its Gaelic name "A'bunadh," meaning "the original." This expression is the latest in a storied series that commenced in 1998, using whiskies aged between 5 and 25 years in Oloroso sherry butts. The result is a whisky with remarkable depth and complexity, albeit slightly diverging from its reputation as a "sherry bomb." On the nose, it reveals a sophisticated bouquet featuring cinnamon, orange rind, baked pastry, vanilla bean, pecans, mild grassiness, sea salt, honey, and orange marmalade. When diluted with water, the aroma evolves to reveal cough drop, pie crust, ginger, Chinese hot mustard, tart apple, capers, lemon zest, and mild bitterness. The palate is equally captivating, offering a viscous, smooth mouthfeel with a milky texture. Neat, it presents a symphony of flavors including cinnamon, heavy sherry, apple skins, bakery notes, ancho or chipotle pepper, and a persistent hot burn. Adding water transforms the palate to a spicier character, with ginger, hot mustard, and tart apple tones, reducing its sweetness. The finish is notably long-lasting, characterized by a mild bitterness and spicy notes of peppercorn, apple, and nutmeg, with a hot burn that lingers noticeably. It is recommended to take three sips to uncover the layers of flavors masked by the high proof. Despite a slight departure from its "sherry monster" legacy, the Aberlour A'bunadh Batch #67 offers a well-rounded, complex sensory experience, balancing sweet, spicy, and savory profiles that evolve with each sip.
