Meaning ‘the original’ in Gaelic, A’bunadh is made in homage to Aberlour’s founder, James Fleming. A’bunadh is a whisky hand-made from start to finish with each batch being created to ensure a rich and complex flavour of moist raisin, and homemade fruit cake. It is bottled at cask strength resulting in a robust and deeply intense, sherried whisky.

Aberlour Distillery was officially founded in 1826 by James Gordon and Peter Weir, although there is evidence of illicit distillation taking place in the area long before that. The distillery has a rich history of producing high-quality whisky. Aberlour is situated in the heart of Speyside, which is known for its abundance of distilleries and excellent water sources. The distillery draws its water from the Ben Rinnes mountain, contributing to the character of its whisky.
