Tasting Notes

Nose

Mixed spices and praline — spiced orange, deep Oloroso sherry, rich and intense, the cask strength adding extraordinary aromatic power

Palate

Orange, black cherries, dried fruit — ginger spiked with dark bitter chocolate, sherry and oak, creamy mouthfeel, the first-fill Oloroso providing maximum sherry influence, full-throttle and unapologetic

Finish

Intense — bittersweet spices, dark chocolate, oak, the cask strength persisting with warmth and complexity, one of the longest sherry finishes in Scotch

Expert Review

9/10

A'bunadh — Gaelic for 'the original' — a tribute to founder James Fleming. Exclusively matured in first-fill Oloroso sherry butts, non-chill-filtered, released in numbered batches since 1997. Cask strength averaging 59-61%. A full-throttle sherry explosion of raisins, toffee, dark chocolate, and spice. One of Scotch's greatest values.
