1. What they are saying
This proper right here is the seventh batch of single malt from the Aberlour distillery to be independently bottled by That Boutique-y Whisky Firm! We’re no none the wiser as to why the chap within the high room of Aberlour’s Mash Tun resort appears so scared. Will we ever know? It’s a query for the ages… Whereas we ponder it, how about we get pleasure from some tasty Speyside single malt!?
Batch 7 is a launch of three,421 bottles.

4. What I say
An independently bottled Aberlour from That Boutique-Y whisky Firm. I keep in mind shopping for Batch 1 a very long time in the past because it was arduous to come back by Aberlour bottled independently on the time. That is Batch 7 and like related latest TBWC batches carries the 9 yr age assertion and is probably going a vatting of a parcel of casks because it produced over 3,000 500ml bottles, from the color I’m guessing refill Bourbon matured?
