Aberlour A’bunadh Alba Cask Strength Batch #007 [700ML]

Description

Are you searching for a cask strength single malt that delivers uncompromising character without the peat-heavy profile?

As a certified spirits specialist at Mr. Chow’s Liquor Store, I’m thrilled to present the Aberlour A’bunadh Alba Cask Strength Batch #007, a premium whisky that showcases Speyside’s elegance through exclusive American oak maturation. This limited batch release stands proudly alongside exceptional expressions like the Bruichladdich Octomore 14.1 cask strength single malt and the sherry-forward Kavalan Oloroso Sherry Oak single malt, offering collectors a distinctive alternative from Scotland’s most respected distilleries.

• Distillery: Aberlour – established 1879 in Speyside’s heart
• Region: Speyside, Scotland – known for elegant, fruit-forward whiskies
• ABV: 57.1% actual cask strength (delivering intense, undiluted flavors)
• Volume: 700ml
• Maturation: Exclusively American oak casks for vanilla-rich complexity
• Tasting Notes: Nose reveals honeyed vanilla with ripe peaches and toasted almonds. Palate explodes with creamy toffee, orange zest, and warming cinnamon spice. Finish lingers beautifully with sweet malt and subtle oak tannins.
• Best Served: Neat in a Glencairn glass; add spring water to taste for opening aromatics

Our spirits specialists at Mr. Chow’s Liquor have found this batch particularly approachable despite its strength, with the American oak imparting a sweeter, less tannic profile than traditional sherry cask expressions. After evaluating hundreds of cask strength releases, this stands out for its exceptional balance.

Ideal for: Chinese New Year gifting, corporate appreciation, or expanding your single malt collection. Pairs with: Rich Malaysian cuisine including char siu bao, beef rendang, and salted egg prawns where the whisky’s sweetness complements savory umami. Recommended for: Collectors seeking variety beyond Islay expressions like the Bunnahabhain Eirigh Na Greine Islay single malt, priced at RM 405 with Malaysia-wide delivery.
