Aberlour A’bunadh Batch 50

Bought: Waitrose, 23rd January 2015

Ratings:
88.75/100 – Whiskybase (average from 4 member votes)

Having started my A’bunadh addiction with batch 45 in 2013, I’ve added batch 47 and now batch 50. It’s very early days yet in the Whiskybase ratings for this new batch, but here is how the last 6 batches stack up with their Whiskybase votes:

  • 88.75/100 – Batch 50 (4 votes)
  • 89.18/100 – Batch 49 (52 votes)
  • 85.33/100 – Batch 48 (18 votes)
  • 88.27/100 – Batch 47 (92 votes)
  • 85.67/100 – Batch 46 (95 votes)
  • 86.8/100 – Batch 45 (129 votes)

One thing that instantly jumps out is how consistently high the ratings are. I’m glad so many people agree with me that the A’bunadh is a fantastic dram!

Personally I prefer to have a glass of A’bunadh as my second whisky, following on from a standard strength Speyside single malt. It’s like driving a normal car before moving to a Rolls Royce to show what real luxury feels like. The comparison is quite remarkable.
