The Oloroso sherry butts of yesteryear were certainly better, but despite all the naysayers, Aberlour A'bunadh is still a pretty fine dram. Lovely notes of strawberries, cherries and roasted almonds emerge from the Glencairn, enriched by After Eights, walnut cake and dried herbs. Potent and spicy, the taste pushes forward with stewed fruits, ginger and eucalyptus. It is surprisingly versatile and thrives with added water. Mon Chéri, coffee and measured oak fade in the long finish. Maybe not as good as it used to be, but I am far from being disappointed.
