Aberlour - Single Malt Scotch Whisky - A'Bunadh Alba

Aged in American white oak (Quercus Alba) casks, the Aberlour A'Bunadh Alba is magnificently impregnated with the aromas of this type of wood, which is denser than French oak. It's a "brut de fût" whisky, with no added water, reminiscent of the powerful taste of old malts, in the pure tradition of 19th-century malts. Pure and invigorating, thanks to its long ageing in bourbon casks, the nose reveals notes of orchard fruit, honey and vanilla, while the palate is more acidic, with hints of grapefruit, shortbread and sugared almonds, and a subtly toasted finish.

Elaboration:

Not peated. Aged 100% in first-fill bourbon barrels and then bottled brut de fût.

Color:

Clear gold.

Nose:

Scents of jasmine, honeysuckle, coconut cream and caramel shortbread.

Palate:

Rich with flavors of poached pear, malt, nougat, lemon cream, toasted coconut and hints of spice. The finish reveals aromas of vanilla, chocolate and nuts.

Temperature:

Serve between 16 and 18°C in a Glencairn whisky glass.

Food and wine pairing:

As an aperitif or digestif, on its own or accompanied by a neutral, fresh, still spring water, Speyside Glenlivet for lovers of Scottish water.
