Aberlour Casg Annamh Scotch Whisky
Aberlour Casg Annamh Scotch Whisky is a 750mL single malt bottled at 48% ABV (96 proof) with no age statement, released in small batches from a limited number of carefully selected casks. "Casg Annamh" is Gaelic for "Rare Cask": the whisky is matured in three cask types — European oak sherry casks and two different types of American oak cask — with the Spanish Oloroso sherry casks exerting the strongest influence, and it is bottled non-chill-filtered at the Aberlour distillery in Speyside, founded by James Fleming in 1879 where the Lour burn meets the River Spey. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor.

Rare Cask: A Small-Batch Speyside Malt in Three Casks
Casg Annamh is Aberlour's sherry-led small-batch expression: a limited parcel of casks, married and bottled at a full 48% without chill filtration so the Oloroso weight survives into the glass. It sits between the double-cask core range and the cask-strength A'Bunadh in the house line-up — distillery character, sherry richness and batch variation, with each release numbered on the bottle.

Tasting Notes
Per the brand: rich and sweet on the nose with tangy orange, glazed cherries, raisins and a hint of ginger; sweet and fruity on the palate — apple and cinnamon crumble and ripe peaches balanced by liquorice and clove spice; a long, rich finish, fruity with a touch of dry spice.
How to Enjoy
Neat or with a splash of water to open the sherry fruit; the 48% strength and non-chill-filtered texture make it a slow evening pour, not a mixer. More Speyside malts are in our scotch whisky collection.
