Owned by Chivas Brothers, a subsidiary of Pernod Ricard, Aberlour is the seventh bestselling Scotch single malt. The distillery was rebuilt twice due to devastating fire damage; the first rebuild took place in 1879 and was financed by James Fleming, a local banker who relocated it upstream. It was rebuilt again in 1898 and was redesigned by the architect Charles Doig. The core expression, a ten year-old, is a marriage of sherry and bourbon butt and, in 2003, it won the trophy for best single malt at the International Wine and Spirits Competition. The name a'bunadh is described as the Scottish Gaelic for ''the original', [3] though is possibly a misspelling of am bunadh, meaning ' the origin'. [4] Released batch numbers [ edit ] Batch number With each batch carefully made by hand, Aberlour A’bunadh is a unique cask strength single malt whisky that has achieved cult status among whisky connoisseurs. Meaning ‘the original’ in Gaelic, A’bunadh is made in homage to Aberlour’s founder, James Fleming, using only traditional methods without chill filtration or other modern processes. The result is a heavier, creamier single malt than most have ever experienced – memorably flavoursome, with an intense raisin character.

A wonderfully sweet, fruity, floral and perfumed set of aromas really gets the juices flowing. There are some sumptuous runny-honey and complex nutty notes, along with heavy leather, treacle, cola and spice. Ginger and creamy vanilla custard top things off in this great whisky.” A'bunadh is a cask-strength [1] single malt whisky from the Aberlour Distillery in Scotland. [2] Though it has no age statement, it is released in limited run batches, each batch carrying a unique number on its label. Each batch of this whisky is blended from barrels ranging from 5 to 25 years old.The collection was built up over 10 years by biologist Jon O’Connell from York, UK. He discovered the whisky while on a fishing trip in Scotland, where he enjoyed a dram with a fishing enthusiast. The term A’bunadh is Scotch Gaelic, and means “of the origins.” In 1975, during the installation of two new stills, workmen discovered a time capsule that contained a bottle of Aberlour with a newspaper from 1898 wrapped around it. A’bunadh is an attempt to re-create the style of Aberlour whisky from that period.

A'bunadh is exclusively aged in Spanish oak Oloroso sherry butts [1] and therefore has a sweeter, softer flavour than most scotch. A'bunadh is not chill filtered.

The workmen who discovered the bottle polished off four fifths of the bottle during their lunch break, but the remains of the bottle went off to the laboratories in Keith, Moray, and were analysed. A'bunadh is an attempt to recreate this single malt. The distillery that today produces the iconic Aberlour whisky was founded in 1879 by James Fleming, who built it using water from St. Drostan's Well, which was named after an early Columban monk. Prior to this, there was another distillery in the area between the years of 1825 and 1833, but this shouldn't be confused with the long-running whisky producers to whom we can attribute the fine whisky we know and love today. O’Connell said: “What a day it was meeting that fisherman and sharing a dram of Aberlour A’bunadh. I’d never seen anything like it before so I decided to buy myself a bottle and from there, I set myself a challenge to collect a bottle from every batch ever produced.

It would appear the newly-built distillery upped its safety standards after that because the building hasn’t been torn down by flames since (*touches wood*). In 1945 Aberlour was acquired by S.Campbell & Sons and then in 1973 renovations began to increase the stills from two to four, during the course of which the time capsule was discovered – an original bottle of whisky from 1898 wrapped in a newspaper reporting on the fire from that year.

Aberlour (pronounced ‘Ab-er-LAU-errr’) sits at the base of the rugged mountain range, Ben Rinnes. Nestled in the village of the same name, the distillery was founded by Peter Weir and James Gordon in 1826, though Peter was to pull out a year later. The village lies on the Lour Burn, which converges with the River Spey just 270 metres from the distillery. The 6th century Celtic saint St Drostan, baptised local chiefs in the distillery’s water source.
