Review #144: Aberlour A'bunadh batch 47

Speyside - NAS- NCF- NCA - Sample ($80 at the local) - 60.7%

Color - Mahogany

Nose - Dates, vanilla, marzipan, stewed apples, creme brule sugar

Palate - Vanilla, oak, allspice, faint fruit

Finish - Medium - Hot - Spice - allspice, vanilla, fruit peel 

Overall -5.5 - I was disappointed in this one.  The nose was great but there is too much spice not balanced by fruit.  This is probably my least favorite of the A'bunadh's that I have had.  Still enjoyable but, not my thing.
