Batch 37 of Aberlour’s iconic a’bunadh series continues the distillery’s tradition of producing powerful, cask strength whiskies matured exclusively in Oloroso sherry butts. First launched in the late 1990s, a’bunadh—Gaelic for “the origin”—pays homage to the style of whisky Aberlour produced in its earliest days, bottled without chill-filtration, colouring, or dilution. Each batch varies slightly in character and strength, but remains consistent in quality and depth, earning a reputation among whisky enthusiasts for its uncompromising richness.
