Aberlour Casg Annamh Speyside Single Malt [700ML]

Description

Looking for a Speyside single malt that showcases the artistry of batch maturation without the premium age statement price tag?

As a certified spirits specialist, I’m excited to present the Aberlour Casg Annamh Speyside Single Malt, a premium expression that translates to “precious cask” in Gaelic. This European oak sherry cask-finished whisky delivers complexity typically found in older expressions like the Aberlour 18 Years Speyside Single Malt, yet remains accessible at RM 260. Unlike the predictable profiles of standard releases such as the Aberlour 12 Years Double Cask, Casg Annamh celebrates batch variation and sherry cask influence.

• Distillery: Aberlour – founded 1879 in the heart of Speyside
• Region: Speyside, Scotland – renowned for elegant, fruit-forward whiskies
• ABV: 40% – balanced strength for approachable sipping
• Volume: 700ml
• Maturation: European and American oak sherry casks in small batches
• Tasting Notes: Rich toffee and dark chocolate on the nose, followed by dried fruits, spiced orange peel, and warming cinnamon on the palate. The finish lingers with sweet sherry notes and gentle oak tannins
• Best Served: Neat in a Glencairn glass at room temperature, or with a splash of water to unlock hidden complexities

Our spirits specialists at Mr. Chow’s Liquor Store have found this expression offers exceptional value for sherry cask enthusiasts, with depth comparable to whiskies twice its price. The batch maturation process creates subtle variations that reward repeated tastings.

Ideal for: Lunar New Year gifting, corporate appreciation tokens, or adding diversity to your single malt collection. Pairs with: Rich Malaysian cuisine including braised pork belly, beef rendang, or dark chocolate desserts with salted caramel. Recommended for: Speyside lovers exploring beyond traditional age statements, particularly those who appreciate the GlenAllachie 10 Years Batch 11 style.
