Aberlour Casg Annamh Speyside Single Malt [700ML]

Description

Looking for a Speyside single malt that bridges the gap between approachable and complex?

Aberlour Casg Annamh translates to “Rare Cask” in Gaelic, and this expression lives up to its name through triple cask maturation in Spanish oak Oloroso sherry butts and American oak casks. Unlike typical sherry-forward whiskies that can overwhelm, this non-chill filtered gem offers balanced complexity that welcomes both newcomers and seasoned enthusiasts. For comparison, explore the Tomintoul 16 Years Speyside or the robust Aberlour A’bunadh Alba for different intensity levels.

**Technical Specifications:**
• Distillery: Aberlour – established 1879 in Speyside’s heart

• ABV: 40% – perfectly balanced for neat sipping or with a splash of water
• Volume: 700ml

Our team at Mr. Chow’s Liquor Store has found this expression particularly food-friendly compared to heavier sherry bombs. The triple cask influence creates layers that unfold beautifully, making each sip a discovery.
