Aberlour A'Bunadh Alba Scotch Whisky 750mL is a powerful cask strength Speyside single malt Scotch whisky that offers a bold departure from traditional sherry heavy Aberlour expressions. Unlike the classic A’Bunadh, the Alba edition is matured exclusively in American oak ex-bourbon barrels, delivering a brighter, more vanilla forward profile while maintaining the rich intensity of cask strength whisky.

Vibrant and robust, it opens with aromas of vanilla, citrus, and toasted oak, followed by notes of honey, green apple, baking spice, and subtle coconut. The cask strength proof enhances texture and depth, while the bourbon cask maturation highlights sweetness and freshness, leading to a long, warming finish with lingering vanilla, spice, and oak. It is an excellent choice for those who enjoy bold, full proof whisky with a lighter fruit profile.
