A'Bunadh means 'originally', while Alba has a double meaning: directly translated as 'Scotland', the term also refers to the Latin 'quercus alba', in other words, white oak. A'bunadh Alba is an atypical heir to the famous Aberlour distillate, aged exclusively in hand-selected first-fill American oak casks. The result is what Graeme Cruickshank , Aberlour's master distiller, describes as 'notes of caramelized apple and tarte tatin balanced by a lighter floral note from the distillate's alcohol'.
