I know a lot of you have a bottle of Abalour A`bunadh, this review on batch 41 suggests its one to miss http://www.dramming.com/2012/06/21/aberlour-abunadh-batch-41/

That's a real shame! I still remember my batch 26, nectar. I also had the 36, which was not quite as stellar but still great. Will be giving this one a wide berth as I'm very sulphur-intolerant.

Doesnt sound too good at all, that is a very very poor review. I would be very interested to read other reviews to see if they concur but meanwhile i will keep well away from Aberlour a'bunadh batch 41

That is a very poor review, i find it hard to believe that Aberlour have released something this poor. As you say Charlie it would be interesting to read some other reviews.

I have probably had all of the Aberlour a'bunadh batches to date up until batch 39 and i have not rated any as poorly as this review by this dramming guy who appears to make money out of his reviews but he didnt place a money making link on his website for this whisky as he thought it was so bad, how kind of him.

I personally would read other reviews before labeling the batch 41 as a sulphur tainted whisky.

It certainly puts you off buying a bottle
