Title:
ABERLOUR Casg Annamh Batch Non Chill Filtered Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Description:
Batch 0001 (Collectable)
A small batch vatting from whisky matured in European Oak ex-Oloroso sherry butts, American oak ex-bourbon casks and Traditional casks, or hogsheads, which are second fill Scotch whisky casks.
Every seasoned whisky lover knows that not all sherried malts are equal. It takes a special spirit not only to stand up to sherry casks, but to flourish, and Aberlour has just that. The distillery’s deep, crisp and fruity spirit, particularly a distinctive blackcurrant note, is a perfect match for first fill ex-Oloroso sherry casks, gaining weight and a toffee-like sweetness over time.
It’s precisely this unique match between spirit and barrel that’s turned Aberlour into the legend that it is today and we’re delighted to be part of the Aberlour story this month as we introduce the new legend in the making, Casg Annamh.
Meaning ‘rare cask” in Gaelic, Casg Annamh is different beast to its fabled sibling, the A’Bunadh. Whereas the latter is considered by many to be a cask strength version of the distillery’s staple 100% sherry 10 or 12 Year Olds, Casg Annamh hints at a superior cask selection with Master Distiller Graeme Cruickshank combining Oloroso sherry, American oak ex-bourbon and traditional, or refill, casks to craft an elegant, complex and exceptionally balanced single malt with a velvety richness.
This is where it becomes really fun… There are people out there on a mission to collect a bottle from every single batch of A’Bunadh ever made and Casg Annamh has the potential to be an equally serious collector’s item. The good news is you’ve just got a massive head start on the rest of the world because we’ve secured the lion’s share of the world’s total Batch 0001 stock in the process and you’ll be thanking the whisky gods for years to come that you’ve got your hands on the inaugural bottling of the brand new legend! So make sure you have one to drink and one to keep!
