Aberlour Casg Annamh Batch 0006 Single Malt Whisky

Aberlour is a distillery of Speyside located in Aberlour, Strathspey, Scotland at the confluence of the rivers Lour and Spey near Ben Rinnes. Rather than boasting about the distinctive qualities of his single malt, Aberlour’s founder, James Fleming remained true to his family’s motto since the days of Robert the Bruce, ‘Let the deed show.’ The proof is in the drinking.
Aberlour’s truly unique taste is derived from two fundamentally important ingredients: pure, soft water of the Ben Rinnes and barley, grown within 15 miles of the distillery. Most of the variants are aged in American ex-bourbon casks, a standard for many single malts Aberlour also releases a range of malts that, after aging in bourbon casks, are finished in casks previously used to mature varieties of fortified wines or sherries, a method applied to appeal particularly to the French market.

Translating as ‘Rare Cask’ in Gaelic, Casg Annamh is created from a limited number of carefully selected Spanish oak Oloroso Sherry casks. Casg Annamh is a distinctively rich Single Malt providing sweet and rich notes.

    Nose:    Rich with tangy orange, glazed cherries and notes of ginger.
