Aberlour Casg Annamh Batch 011 Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Discover the rich depth of artisanal Speyside distilling with Aberlour Casg Annamh Batch 011 Single Malt Scotch Whisky. Produced at the legendary Aberlour Distillery in the heart of Speyside, Scotland, Casg Annamh takes its name from the Gaelic for "rare cask." Meticulously crafted for Speyside single malt enthusiasts, sherry cask collectors, and fine spirit gift buyers, this highly sought-after Batch 011 bottling showcases Aberlour’s renowned mastery of wood selection.

Aberlour Casg Annamh Batch 011 undergoes a complex maturation process in hand-selected specially-seasoned Spanish oak Oloroso sherry butts. Under the supervision of Aberlour’s expert blending team, this maturation marries rich, fruity sherry character with smooth, sweet vanilla and warm oak spices. Non-chillfiltered, naturally coloured, and bottled at an elevated batch strength of 48% ABV, it retains its natural oils, delivering an unctuous, full-bodied palate brimming with dried fruits, dark chocolate, sweet orange peel, and warm baking spices.

The Art of Speyside Triple-Cask Maturation

The Gaelic Rare Cask Heritage: By using heavy Oloroso sherry influence, Aberlour achieves an exceptionally balanced, rich, and velvety profile. Housed in Aberlour's classic heavy-base bottle and luxury presentation tube, Batch 011 stands out as an essential addition to any high-end whisky cabinet or rare Speyside collection.

• Palate / Flavour: Opulent, velvety, and mouth-coating. Complex layers of dried fruit, dark chocolate truffles, and apple crumble merge seamlessly with sweet cinnamon, nutmeg, candied citrus, and toasted oak tannins.
• Finish: Long, warming, and comforting. It finishes with enduring notes of dried fruit peel, warm baking spices, soft oak, and a lingering trail of sweet honeyed malt.
