Aberlour has unveiled an evolution of its inaugural release. The A’bunadh whisky that the distillery introduced a while ago has been given a flavorful twist. For a limited time, the whisky is available in a Sherry Cask Collection, where there is experimentation with the taste of sherry.

Graeme Cruickshank, master distiller at Aberlour, explains that the whisky goes beyond the traditional release thanks to double cask maturation.

'We build on the beloved tradition of A’bunadh, but push the boundaries of sherry cask influence. Each cask is carefully chosen for its aromas and flavor profile.'
