Stepping into the world of Aberlour A’Bunadh is like entering a candlelit Speyside cellar, quiet, powerful, and full of story. “A'bunadh,” meaning “the origin” in Gaelic, is a tribute to founder James Fleming’s vision of uncompromising whisky. Batch No. 63 continues the legacy with boldness and fire, bottled straight from the cask and built for those who crave intensity with integrity.

Aberlour A’Bunadh Batch No. 63 70cl
Brand: Aberlour | Category: Single Malt Scotch Whisky | ABV: 61% | Origin: Speyside, Scotland | Vol.: 70cl

Tasting Profile:
Nose: Like stepping into a dark spice market, deep sherry, figs, cinnamon bark, and orange oil, with whispers of worn leather and toasted nuts.
Palate: Thick and weighty on the tongue, black cherries soaked in Armagnac, dark chocolate, clove, and oak spice explode across the palate in waves. It’s a rich, almost chewy dram that demands slow attention.
Finish: Long and reverent. Dried fruits and heat linger like glowing embers, with a final flicker of spiced oak and sweet tobacco.

Production Details:
A’Bunadh is non-chill filtered and bottled at cask strength to preserve its raw depth and soul. Each batch is matured entirely in first-fill Oloroso sherry butts, giving it a powerful character that's as unfiltered as the Speyside river it draws from. Batch No. 63 is no exception, crafted for those who want their whisky bold and undiluted.

Perfect For:
An ideal pour for nights that call for silence and strength, after a long day, by a roaring fire, or during meaningful reflection. This is not a whisky to sip casually, it asks for presence, and gives back depth.

Expert Notes:
Highly regarded among cask strength fans, Batch 63 has earned praise for its fierce concentration and balance of sherry sweetness and spice. A consistent favourite in whisky circles for good reason, it’s old-school done with fire and finesse.

Customer Reviews:
“Takes your breath away in the best way. Big, bold, unforgettable.”
“Exactly what I want from an A’Bunadh, intense, sweet, and unapologetic.”
“Batch 63 packs a punch, but once it opens up, it’s poetry.”

Interesting Fact:
Every A’Bunadh batch is a little different, crafted by hand, without automation. Some collectors hunt each batch like rare vinyls, seeking subtle differences in character and strength.

Serving Suggestions:
Try it neat first to experience its raw form but don’t be afraid to add a few drops of water to tame the high ABV and unlock a swirl of orange peel and sultana. Let it breathe in the glass, it gets deeper with time.

Distillery Background:
Founded in 1826 by James Fleming, Aberlour sits between the rivers Lour and Spey. Fleming’s motto, “Let the Deed Show”, still guides the distillery’s approach: let the whisky speak for itself. With a deep respect for sherry cask maturation and a commitment to craft, Aberlour delivers whiskies with soul, structure, and heritage in every sip.
