Aberlour A’Bunadh Batch 78 Cask Strength Whisky [700ML]

Description

Looking for a Speyside single malt that delivers uncompromising intensity straight from the cask?

The Aberlour A’Bunadh Batch 78 represents the pinnacle of cask strength whisky craftsmanship from Scotland’s renowned Speyside region. This limited edition expression honors founder James Fleming’s legacy through exclusive maturation in Spanish Oloroso sherry butts, delivering complexity that rivals expressions like the A’Bunadh Alba series while maintaining its own distinctive character. Unlike standard bottlings such as BenRiach’s 12-year expressions, this comes unfiltered and undiluted at natural cask strength.
