Note: No gift box supplied.

At the time of writing, we're up to Batch 76 in the series. This historical bottling goes way back (circa 2013). The dark colour looks like some older sherry casks made it to the mixing vat. One to collect or set aside for a special occasion. 59.7% Alc./Vol.

Each batch of Abunadh varies in proof and flavour as proportions of older or younger material make the cut, but the brief remains the same: Make a 100% ex-oloroso sherry aged malt using the inventory at hand (anywhere from 5 to 25 years old). Keep it natural, which means zero chill filtration, keep it balanced and keep it affordable. No information about the number of bottles from each batch of A’bunadh is offered, but they're large outturns for a global community, which makes for a significant blending challenge. That hasn't stopped collectors and fans of sherried malts from stocking up on those that are deemed better than others.
