#34 Aberlour A'Bunadh Batch

Aberlour A`bunadh is produced in the tradition of 19th century single malts from an era when villagers would come to the distillery to collect their dram straight from the cask, often in apothecary bottles obtained from the village chemist. Indeed these bottles are the inspiration for the a`bunadh bottle shape today.

Matured exclusively in Spanish Oak Oloroso Sherry butts, the rarest and most precious casks used for maturation and bottled at cask strength, a`bunadh possesses an unrivalled aromatic intensity. A richer mouth-fill and flavour complexity is achieved by bottling without the use of modern day chill-filtering methods. 

Aberlour A'bunadh is bottled using only first fill Oloroso sherry butts, this is batch #34 released in 2011.

Fukano Distillery Single Cask #284 Flask Fine Wine and Whisky Exclusive 75cl / US Import

Fukano is situated within the city of Kumamoto on the southern island of Kyushu has been distilling since 1823.

They're famous for a diverse offering of Shochus and high quality liqueurs, but a tiny portion of their production is devoted to malted rice distillation. In Japan, these old whiskies are not bottled as such, though they do meet the definition by American standards.

This rare spirit is aged much like bourbon in new charred oak casks. The result is something absolutely sublime and uniquely Japanese.

One of 455.
