Aberlour Question

Hello to all. I have a question about the value or just any information on a bottle of ABERLOUR a'bunadh Batch 11 that I have been given.

I do enjoy Whisky, but honestly I am more than fine with drinking my Crown Royal. Please don't laugh, but at the age of 31 I really have not been introduced to fine drinks. After suffering many broken noses from hockey I really can't taste much anyway and don't know if I would appreciate the more expensive whisky's.

So if anybody could offer me any information on this I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks for your time.

You have a very common bottle Aberlour. It sells for about 70 dollars. I would just open and enjoy.

It's a very nice non chill filtered, cask strength, Oloroso sherry cask matured, single malt scotch whisky. It's great. Great quality for the money. Each batch is unique, so it may be a bit different than the current offering, which I think is 35.
Open it up and enjoy it!
Try it straight, and than add a bit of water at a time to find the "sweet spot". Many cask strength whiskies open up nicely with a splash of water, but some are perfect at full cask strength. You picked a good one to start your journey.
As an aside insurance will pay for rhinoplasty for patients with significantly deviated septums, trauma, etc.

A'bunadh batch 21 was amazing! Batch 11 should be interesting.

It will be quite different than the Crown, not as smooth, but with a lot more flavor! Add a bit of water and enjoy!
