Aberlour Casg Annamh Single Malt Whisky Batch No. 4 70cl – Limited Release
Brand: Aberlour | Category: Single Malt Scotch Whisky | ABV: 48% | Origin: Speyside, Scotland | Vol: 70cl

Tasting Profile:
Nose: Warm and seductive, juicy raisins, spiced orange peel, clove, and thick honey, like walking into a patisserie at dusk.
Palate: Full bodied and velvety, waves of baked apples, cinnamon, dried figs, and dark chocolate layered with sherry soaked richness. The mouthfeel is luxurious, almost dessert like.
Finish: Long and warming, a final sweep of oak spice, treacle, and roasted almonds that fades ever so slowly.

Production Details:
Matured in a blend of European oak sherry casks and two types of American oak, Casg Annamh is bottled in small batches to ensure maximum flavour concentration. Batch No. 4 retains the cask strength intensity (48% ABV) while remaining beautifully balanced. Aberlour’s signature is the use of first-fill Oloroso casks, giving the whisky its signature fruit and spice interplay.

Perfect For:
An evening of deep conversation or quiet introspection. Perfect after dinner with dark chocolate, or by the fire with a jazz vinyl spinning in the background. It’s not for rushing, this dram asks you to pause.

Expert Notes:
Critically admired for punching above its age and price point, Batch No. 4 of Casg Annamh continues the series’ reputation for complexity and approachability. Whisky writers often call it a “sherry bomb without the burn”, bold, but beautifully refined.

Customer Reviews:

Interesting Fact:

Serving Suggestions:
Enjoy neat to appreciate its full richness, or add a few drops of water to mellow the spice and bring out more fruit forward notes. Pair it with a square of 70% dark chocolate or a slice of fruitcake for a decadent treat.
