Influenced by the finest quality, hand-selected Oloroso Sherry casks, Casg Annamh is a distinctively rich Single Malt.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Speyside distillery, Aberlour, has released its latest premium Single Malt, Casg Annamh, to provide adventurous malt lovers with the ideal introduction to Sherry cask matured whiskies. With its distinctive Sherry signature, the new expression highlights Aberlour\u2019s commitment to choosing the best casks and maturing liquid of the highest quality to provide a deep and satisfying taste experience.<\/p>\n
Translating as \u2018Rare Cask\u2019 in Gaelic, Casg Annamh has been created in small batches from a limited number of carefully selected casks. Rare and hard to obtain, the Oloroso Sherry casks have a significant influence on the liquid and perfectly complement Aberlour\u2019s distillate flavour, bringing sweet and rich notes.<\/p>\n
Graeme Cruickshank, Aberlour\u2019s Master Distiller, commented: \u201cCasg Annamh is a tribute to our craftsmen\u2019s passion for sherry and their expertise when it comes to creating a rare and fine Single Malt. We carefully hand-pick our Oloroso Sherry casks from traditional Sherry bodegas in Spain, making sure the wood has exactly the right combination of aromatic qualities for Aberlour. The end result is a distinctively rich and fruity finish which we\u2019re confident will offer something new and exciting for those looking to explore the Single Malt category.\u201d<\/p>\n
Aberlour\u2019s premium and craft credentials are upheld by Casg Annamh, which comes with Graeme Cruickshank\u2019s signature, a wax capsule bottle, and is part of a small batch production. It will be available to purchase at retailers across the globe, with a RRP of $70 (or local equivalent).<\/p>\n
