not worth the £60 a bottle
That's the hard thing for smaller/younger distilleries. They're always going to seem overpriced when compared to the more established players. Small volumes and getting taxed as soon as it's bottled is such a killer.
A'Bunadh is one of the few non age statement whiskies that I'll buy, as you say a real sherry banger.
If you're a big sherry head then I'm assuming you've had the Glendronach 18? It's incredible, Christmas cake in a glass. If you haven't, try to get hold of some now as Jack Daniels have just bought them and are in the process of ruining it. Look for bottles that still state that it's non chill filtered and natural colour as JD think it's better to not do that anymore.

Yes, very true. And to be fair, I don't normally go for Bordeaux cask, but they were out of the sherry cask, will try that next.
I have had the Glendronach, but hadn't realised they had been taken over, so will grab a bottle whilst I can...

Not sure how I missed this thread!
These are my current open bottles.
Dartmoor Bordeaux Cask: It's OK, nothing special, bought as it is relatively local to me, but not worth the £60 a bottle, more like £30
Auchentoshan: Bought to try virgin cask, its really different, still not sure if I like it or not
Aberlour A'Bunadh: I love Sherry aged, and this one is right up there, only beaten by...
Signatory Inchgower 97: This stuff is lovely, needs watering down a touch, lovely and sweet as a sheery cask should be.
