Aberlour’s ‘Casg Annamh’ is a small batch non chill-filtered single malt whisky from the Speyside Scottish region.Now then, first off the bat, this little beauty is 48% alcohol by volume. So it’s got a kick in its tale if you’re not adding a few drops of water. Some of the stronger whiskies I agree, a splash of water brings out the different notes – the Glenfarclas 105 being a prime example. Although this being non-chill filtered will mean if you add any water, to expect it to go a little cloudy. I’ve not done this, so can’t confirm. You see personally, I don’t think you need to add any water to really appreciate the depth and variety of subtle (and not so subtle) flavours in this particular whisky.The sweet,

I like Aberlour. I remember those early days of Aberlour 10.... Chill filtered, probably coloured but those were my very first sips of single malt whisky. Since then, this distillery has maintained a special place in my whisky loving heart. Fast forward 2 decades later. Following the success of the A'Bunadh which was a favourite sherry dominated whisky of mine and following the ridiculous decision of raising prices to stratospheric levels for essentially a good NAS whisky, they released the Aberlour Casg Annamh. So I bought 2 bottles of batch 001. It has spent time in european oak sherry casks and two types of American oak casks. So what do I think? It's a very nice whisky indeed.

One measurement of mine is to compare prices between the expensive ones and ones I can enjoy at the lower end. So twice the price should be twice the pleasure. I think I may have found a whisky that delivers that.I love Speyside whiskeys - not a fan of smokey ones in general. So I was looking forward to trying this one. Abelour as a distillery has changed hands many times, but the location is still the same and using the same spring water.My experience has been that the first glasses from the bottle can be harsh - the intensity of spirit contained then released suddenly - so I like to decant and leave for a while. But I was keen to try this immediately as soon as I got the bouquet on opening.

I am really getting into whisky’s that have been finished in sherry casks. They have deep amber colours, with sweet finishes to them and a host of aromas to get you in the mood. This one fits right in with my new found pleasure.The nose on pouring the first glass was so warming and inviting with a soft caramel tone preparing the taste buds. However, I stupidly inhaled as I took a sip causing a few droplets to hit the back of my throat. This coupled with the high alcohol content caused me to choke like a teenager taking a first slug of cheap mash. After that my throat was burning so then had to leave it for another night.On the second attempt the drink was so smooth with a myriad of sherry like flavours and a slight liquorice aftertaste.

This whisky comes delivered in the usual whisky tube packaging to protect it so safe for delivery. The whisky is classed as from a rare cask and only made in small batches. Im not sure if they will all be labelled as Batch 0001 but the bottle I received was. Upon tasting for the first time, I recommend giving it a little time to settle, you will then be able to appreciate the full rich flavours that this whisky offers. I mainly got apple, cinnamon and even like a butterscotch taste with a hint of sherry in the background but not too empowering, just right. Upon trying a second glass I added a couple of drops of water and again left it to to settle, this time the 48% ABV whisky was even nicer and more full of flavour.

Traditionally whiskies were matured in old sherry casks re-used from Spanish imports, but in more recent times new American and French barrels have dominated (though sometimes old American casks which previously held bourbon whisky are employed). Aberlour is one of the few distilleries to have maintained, for at least part of the maturation, the sherry cask tradition, although many others are again using this method for special bottlings. This Casg Annamh comes in at 48% strength and has no age statement so is undoubtedly young or using a proportion of young whisky, but the complexity belies this youth. It has a lovely deep amber colour which suggests richness and it doesn't disappoint.

There is a wee bit of a renaissance going on for interesting Whisky's at the moment. For a long time people just bought bottles due to the age on the bottle, but more brands are bringing out interesting Whisky's without an age on it.The Casg Annamh (Rare Cask) uses special sherry casks to try and give it its unique flavour, and it stands up pretty well in my eyes. The first thing is the standard taste with the eye, and the bottle is interesting with quite a wide neck and colour is nice dark amber colour.When opened I got quite a nice fruity nose with a hint of the spiciness. The 1st taste has the fruit and spiciness again, but it also has the hit of the 48% and it is quite an intense flavour.

I'm more of a rum fan to be honest, but given the chance to try this, I was keen to give it a shot. I was pretty impressed. I sort of know my Scottish whisky regions, and their different tastes, I know the ones I don't like (the Islay ones, very smokey), and the ons I do. I know I like Speyside whiskies (Glenfiddich and so on), so was hoping this was in the ballpark of what I expected it to be from that region, glad to say , it was exactly as I hoped, not overly smokey, and a fine taste, nice amoma, definitely something I could enjoy neat or with a bit of water.The real test was when I offered it up to some real whisky lovers, without telling them anything about what they were drinking,

Aberlour ReviewI do not recall this Casgannamh tasting a lot like Abelour’s usual 10 year old (which I have bought before). Just as well – as this one is appreciably more expensive but, truly, it is somewhat more special (and the 10 year old is fine dram to begin with!).At 48% it’s a strong one. At first nose you get a massive hit of sherry notes: very sweet and – to my nose – quite redolent of cognac. I tried it neat to begin with and it reminded me of – among other things – the texture and density of a desert wine but more complex and rich. Vanilla and sherry come through in abundance and it is a real ‘sip to savour’ drink. With water it opens up and reveals more subtlety and is simply one of the most satisfying whiskys I’ve tried.

I drank this with a friend who has more experience than me in drinking single malt whiskies. We drank it neat and found it very smooth with a nice long finish, sweet rather than bitter. It was a real pain to open with its waxed plastic seal - we had to take a knife to it, but once we opened it, its smell had hints of Christmas pudding or candied peel. Its flavour was subtle and it was a nice brown golden amber colour. As a Speyside malt, it is much smoother than Islay malts.It is however a little on the pricey side even for a single malt. We were also puzzled by the fact that although it explains on the impressively pretty box that it has been matured in three different kinds of casks,

Aberlour never disappoints. Their standard 10 year old has been my go-to scotch for a long time as it is of the highest quality and yet somehow remains one of the more affordable single malts on the market. I will occasionally venture out a little bit and try one of their other varieties and the Casg Annamh may be the best one yet. It has a fruity and welcoming nose that is absolute heaven. It is smooth on the tongue and the flavor unfolds within each sip and as you progress (quite quickly, in my case) through the glass. It leaves the drinker with a gentle warmth that is never a burn and very much ready for just one more sip.... Anyone interested in single malt scotch has an obligation to become familiar with Aberlour.

This is one cool whisky single malt 70 cl admittedly more than I would normally pay but what a gorgeous tasting whisky, that I will definitely purchase again.Fruity whisky with Oakley undertones, spicy flavours of liquorice, ginger and cinnamon making it very smooth to drink ?.Drink straight, neat or on the rock's which is how I prefer.This is definitely my very special drink I enjoy one or two at the weekend which goes down great after the long hard week.Aberlour Casgannamh , Scotland is the country of origin and produced in Great Britain.Arrived in a good strong bottle and the outside casing is very well presented,

I lived in France for many years where Aberlour is one of the better known and popular distilleries. There were some malts sold there that I haven’t seen in the UK market including a very drinkable 12 yearold that put me on the lookout for others from their range.This one takes the flavour breadth up a notch and it is delicious and complex. I lack both the vocabulary and the belief that flavours can be adequately described but I can say that the taste is very much to my liking with a lingering finish that gives each sip a sense of occasion.But is it worth double what I was typically paying for that bottle in France? I struggle here to put a price on that flavour.

Although this has a fairly dark, caramel-intense colour, which isn't usually something he favours in a whisky, this has proved to be quite a well-favoured tipple for my Dad. The whisky is laden with fruit (raisins with a slight hint of apple), slightly nutty, with bags of sherry flavours (which Dad does really like) from the casking process. Pleasant levels of maltiness, spices, and oak; light on sweetness and scant smoke; well-rounded and lighter than the dark colour might otherwise suggest.No age statement - which is perhaps surprising at the price point. Nicely presented in a squat, clear bottle - through which the colour of the tipple can be clearly seen - inside a metal-lidded tube.

There is something of a trend right now for finished whiskies, and some of them aren't so good - some seem to be an attempt to hide an indifferent whisky behind a layer of artificial flavours. This is not one of them.This is rather good.The lack of chill filtering means it's not really suited to drinking over ice, which is good, as drinking over ice is an abominable practice.The tasting notes say, liquorice, giber, and cinnamon. I say Ginger. It's warming and smooth on the first taste, no residual harshness, just a lasting heat. It's not particularly pronounced on the nose, all the magic occurs on your tongue.I think they have got this right.
