Matured exclusively in Spanish oak Oloroso Sherry butts, the rarest and most precious casks used for maturation and bottled at cask strength, a'bunadh possesses an unrivaled aromatic intensity. A richer mouth-feel and flavor complexity is achieved by bottling without the use of modern day chill-filtering methods. Nose: Full flavors, slightly smoky with red apples and a fine sherry character. Taste: Intense fruity flavors. Buttery and creamy with a syrupy fruit sweetness. Soft on the palate with a rich chocolate orange-like note. Finish: Long mouth warming feeling and mellowness. Slightly peaty with a honey and spicy aftertaste.

96-100 points Classic/Highest Recommendation Wine Enthusiast: "Intriguing and challenging bouquet of aromas of roasted nuts, old leather, black pepper, old oak and dried fruit. Palate entry is aggressive in spirit, but sweet and pruny; midpalate is drier and features tastes of leather and grain. Aftertaste teems with oak resin, hard cheese (meaning, rancio), candied nuts, candied fruit and dark honey. Add mineral water."

Wine Spectator: "Fruity. Brave the cask-strength heat and be rewarded by a malt that's welcoming and complex. Sherry and cherry dominate at first, but a cereal-granola-honey quality and a licorice note flirt from behind the curtain. The essential candy element returns on the finish. (2/28/11)"
