Reviewed April 19, 2024 (edited April 20, 2024)Nose - a very chocolatey nose. Sweet desserts like donuts and puddings. I smell kheer which is an Indian dessert! I also smell cardomom. I do get an abv hit! Doesn’t surpise me as its 60.1%. Taste - oily and really sweet! Tastes like honey and apple pie. It has a very strange warm feel in the mouth. Mild spicyness due to high abv. Medium long finish. It reminds me of a fresh of the over apple pie with vanilla ice cream. I also get grapes and candied apple! The bourbon barrel influence is very evident. Bourbon drinkers would love this whisky. Thoroughly enjoyed this dram. I personally prefer the regular abunadh but this is wonderful as well. -

Reviewed April 8, 2024As a bourbon drinker, the nose comes through with the oakey aroma but peals off with the usual peat. The palette explodes with notes of spice and sour apples. The finish sticks around quite some time but waiting for you to throw down another. -

Reviewed October 4, 2023Solid overall pour here, but not much of a value. Lots of OB and IB age stated options available at the exact same price point.100.0 USD per Bottle -

Reviewed May 28, 2023Very sweet nose with notes of marzipan, raisin, cherries, and a good touch of vanilla but not too intense on the latter. Good but not a ton of complexity, bourbon outweighing sherry just slightly. Sweet. At first, a slight almost metallic acidity similar to Arran, which leads into a sherried tobacco-leather note, followed by peachy and cherry bourbon notes with powdered sugar sweetness, a slight marmalade note. Need water to open it up - like sweet gasoline without water. Nice sweet finish but not terribly complex. Good, nice intensity and expression but lacking the sherry complexity I would like. Overall not completely worth price but alright scotch. I do like the flavour though, absolutely not bad. -

Reviewed May 6, 2023 (edited May 10, 2023)I’m used to cask strength scotches but i found this expression a bit harsh. Plus it doesnt have the complexity of A'Bunadh. Still a good dram. But my expectations were high. Note: Bottle I got was batch 006 and 124 proof74.99 USD per BottleCostco Wholesale
