Process & Profile

Aberlour A’Bunadh Alba Scotch Whisky is a bold, cask-strength Speyside single malt that showcases the distillery’s traditional craftsmanship and commitment to flavor. “A’Bunadh” means “the original” in Gaelic, and this expression honors that heritage while exploring a new dimension through exclusive aging in first-fill American oak bourbon barrels. Unlike the sherry-matured A’Bunadh, the Alba edition highlights bright orchard fruit, creamy vanilla, and warming spice, offering a fresher, more vibrant take on Aberlour’s signature richness. Bottled at cask strength (~60% ABV / ~120 proof) without chill filtration or added color, it delivers uncompromising intensity and depth for serious Scotch enthusiasts.
