Суммаризация отзывов
Отзывы описывают виски как мощный, но не перегруженный хересом, с фруктовыми, пряными и шоколадными нотами; часть отмечает горечь, спиртовую резкость и необходимость добавления воды.
развернуть подробно
В текстовых отзывах виски чаще описывают как насыщенный хересный вариант: упоминаются херес, ваниль, красные ягоды, яблоки, апельсины, орехи, сухофрукты, черри, сливовый пирог, изюм, кожа, ирис, тёмный шоколад, кофе и специи. Несколько отзывов подчёркивают, что херес не слишком тяжёлый и не подавляет остальные ноты, а крепость ощущается не так сильно, как можно ожидать. При этом встречаются и критические замечания: искусственный вкус, терпкие древесные ноты, горечь, жгучее ощущение на языке, серая сухость в финише, а также излишняя пряность без воды и потеря вкуса при разбавлении. Один отзыв отмечает, что виски улучшился в открытой бутылке, потерял спиртовую резкость и стал легче для питья при разбавлении примерно до 50%. Другой отзыв говорит о необходимости снижать крепость примерно до 45%, чтобы раскрыть вкус и аромат. Также есть мнение, что более поздние партии воспринимаются слабее предыдущих, хотя конкретно эта партия оказалась лучше ожиданий.

not too heavy on the sherry, but enough room for fruits, such as apples, oranges, nuts, with nice berries and chocolate on the palate.

Nice nose, but the taste is a bit artificial. Tart woody notes, a burning sensation on the tongue, slightly bitter notes...

My last batch was before #60. I remember it very well, so I wanted to have an A'Bunadh again. Unfortunately it was a disappointment, this will probably be my last. Without water it is too spicy, with water it loses too much of its flavor.

| Нос | 88 | I like the sherry-heavy nose, but also vanilla notes and red berries. |
| Вкус | 86 | I hardly notice the 61% alcohol content – after lunch – it's nicely spiced, but it becomes slightly bitter on the sides of the tongue, and unfortunately a little more so after further sips. |
| Финиш | 87 | medium, pleasant |

A really good cask strength sherry bomb without any faults at a great price!

It's really developed over time in the open bottle. At first, I wasn't that impressed. It had a rather pungent, alcoholic sharpness and youth. Even with water, that kept coming through. But over time in the open bottle, it suddenly developed a nuttiness and sweetness without being overpowered by the sherry. And it's also lost its alcoholic sharpness. It still needs quite a bit of water. But diluted down to about 50%, it's become a really nice, easy-drinking whisky.

I tried it during a blind tasting. It's a fine, vibrant sherry-style whisky, but it didn't score highly in my personal rankings because its competitors were more vibrant and interesting. Their aromas were richer and more intense. Even though it finished 5th out of 6, I'd still buy it.

Long term A’Bunadh fan, and thought the recent criticism about price and quality deterioration was a little harsh as really enjoyed batch 66 and 68. Tried a 71 and 73 which were slightly less wonderful, but I fear that downward trend has continued. It’s still very enjoyable, but the earlier bottlings were amongst my favourites for sherry cask strength under £100. I have one older version in reserve and fear I now might not be able to easily replace it, and less likely to buy the newer versions as frequently. Shame. As for batch 80, good sherry influence, not overpowering and I like the spicy notes. Are they using younger spirit and less active/quality casks? Likely given the state of the industry!

Not overpowering given the abv. Ripe berries on the nose transfers onto the palate with a refined coffee finish. I was not expecting too much given reviews stating that later batches of A’bunadh were of inferior quality, but batch 80 was significantly above the expectation that was set.

This is my second most favourite whisky.. It's not something to drink neat .. you need to bring it down to around 45% to really enjoy the flavour and nose. I saw one reviewer complaining about a burning sensation.. he obviously hadn't noticed it's 61% and drank it neat.
