This is the 9th batch of Casg Annamh from Speyside's Aberlour distillery. The name means "rare cask" in Gaelic and this flavourful expression spent its time maturing in a combo of American oak and sherry casks, offering up rich layers of aromatic spice, fruit cake, and dark chocolate.
Milky coffee, flame raisins and plenty of honeyed malt.
Golden Grahams, nectarines, cinnamon and strawberry jam.
Cooking spices, sugary biscuits and red apples.

A stunning and big tasting mouthful. Smooth and lingering after taste. Now it ranks as my favourite aperitif.
I invited a friend round on his birthday for a quick toast and this bottle had only just arrived. I know it might not tick all the boxes for everyone, but this was the one that captured everything I wanted in a bottle since first buying a bottle. My perfect dram.
At cask strength it requires a little water or a small ice cube to make this whisky come alive in my opinion., but when it does the depth of flavour is truly outstanding!!! I hope future batches are just as delicious.
Very rich in sherry notes on the nose and palate. Followed by a very good spiciness on palate to balance our the sweet tones.
Absolutely exelant whiskey.to me it's as good as the 16 yr old
