The result is a cask strength Speyside expression defined by honeyed sweetness, ripe tropical fruit, and a clean vanilla warmth rather than the dried fruit and chocolate intensity of the standard A’Bunadh. Both expressions share the batch release format and natural cask strength bottling — the ABV on the Alba varies batch to batch, typically landing between 58% and 62%.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse the full \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/aberlour\"\u003eAberlour collection\u003c\/a\u003e at Wooden Cork.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Honeyed and fruit-forward — ripe banana, vanilla cream, mango, and light oak spice\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full and warming at cask strength — honey, tropical fruit, warm cereal sweetness, and integrated bourbon oak\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium-long and sweet with vanilla and a gentle warming fade\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDistillery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aberlour, Aberlour, Speyside\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Speyside, Scotland\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eCask Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e First-fill American bourbon barrels\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e Batch-variable, typically 58–62% — check individual batch label\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFiltration:\u003c\/strong\u003e Non-chill filtered, natural colour\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eExplore the full \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/scotch\"\u003eScotch whisky collection\u003c\/a\u003e at Wooden Cork.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhat is the difference between A’Bunadh and A’Bunadh Alba?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe original A’Bunadh is matured exclusively in Oloroso sherry butts, producing intense dark fruit, praline, and chocolate at cask strength.
