Aged from a combination of first fill and refill sherry butts, the Casg Annamh is the latest release into the Aberlour range. A range that comes from a distillery whose whisky only lives as single malts. Unlike many distilleries who make a bulk of their money by selling to blenders like Diageo, Aberlour is only created to be single malt releases under their own name making indie bottlings fairly rare… dun dun dun – foreshadowing. We got to try this new Aberlour Casg Annamh at a Southern California Whiskey Club meeting with Aberlour. That night we tasted through a great selection of current Aberlour and a single cask 16-year-old, but this was by far the most interesting whisky of the night. Interesting enough that, spoiler, when it comes to Los Angeles I plan on snagging a bottle or two.
