Aberlour A'bunadh (Batch 62)

Saratoga Whiskey Club 2/23/24

Yet another Aberlour A'bunadh, which are released in batches. This time batch 62! Wow, how far have they gone. Cask strength as always, this is the star in Aberlour's core range, and it has slight changes between batches. This one, has been bottled at 59.9% with the classic reddish copper color you expect from every a'bunadh. On the nose, the expected profile. Apple, cinnamon, a fancy toffee/Dulce de leche and Dr. Pepper. After q first sip i got some nice lemon notes. On the palate, very simple, but delicious. Classic red apples from Aberlour. Cinnamon and pepper. Aftertaste is so well delivered that no harsh alcohol note is felt. Sulphur, salt, apple, cinnamon and toffee. Overall, i fell that Aberlour A'bunadh is the safest expression on the Aberlour range; and that is a particularity, because it is actually released in different batches. It always have the red apples, the cinnamon and the toffee. Boring? Maybe. Enjoyable whisky? Definitively. My score for A'bunadh batch 62 is 88 over 100, scoring 22 points in every criteria.
