Description
Aberlour A’bunadh Batch No. 78 is a powerful single malt Scotch whisky from Speyside that is uncompromisingly authentic: unfiltered, uncoloured and bottled at an impressive 60.7% cask strength by volume. As part of the legendary A’bunadh series (Gaelic for “the original”), this bottling honours the distillery’s roots and is aimed at discerning connoisseurs who appreciate intense, sherried whiskies.
This Aberlour single malt is matured exclusively in hand-picked Spanish Oloroso sherry butts, which gives it its typical aromatic depth and rich colour. Each batch in the A’bunadh range is a small batch release, and Batch No. 78 impresses with its balanced combination of dark fruit, spice, sweetness and warmth – a true Sherrybomb classic that nevertheless remains nuanced and complex.
It is supplied in a high-quality gift box that also sets the scene visually for this cask-strength speciality. A must for lovers of intense sherry cask whiskies and collectors of rare original bottlings.

Aberlour A’bunadh Batch 78 is a whisky that is best enjoyed neat – ideally in small sips or with a few drops of water to open up the high alcohol strength a little and release additional flavours. It is also ideal as the highlight of a whisky tasting or as a rare gift whisky. For fans of strong, sherry-tinged single malts, this bottling offers an unadulterated flavour experience with depth and character – a true feast for the palate.
