Aberlour Casg Annamh Single Malt Whisky
Casg Annamh (means Rare Cask in Gaelic ) is a reflection of what Aberlour Distillery have done with this expression. They have hand picked their Spanish Oloroso Sherry casks from the same region in Spain as 30 years ago, filling them with their own whisky. They have matured this single malt in three different casks; European Oak Sherry cask and two different types of American Oak casks. Their rich flavours have been used to infuse the whisky during the maturation time. The outcome? Well it has created a rich aroma of tangy orange, glazed cherries and notes of ginger. When it hits the palate you will notice the sweetness that comes from the notes of apple, peaches and is backed with spice from cinnamon and liquorice. The finish is smooth and sweet with a little hint of spice. This listing is for Batch 4.
Lagavulin 8 Year Old
Initially released to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the founding of Lagavulin distillery by John Johnston in 1816, this eight-year-old Single Malt Scotch Whisky is big and smoky. A celebration of the people and craft that have made Lagavulin great over the last two centuries, its fragrant, tea-scented smoke alongside nose-drying, maritime aromas is unlocked with just a drop of water. Inspired by the visit of Alfred Barnard to the distillery in the 1880s when he tried an 'exceptionally fine' eight-year-old from the distillery, this is a fitting tribute for the milestone. With a light body that becomes pleasantly oily, the Lagavulin 8-Year-Old palate boasts a magnificently full-on Lagavulin taste that’s somehow even bigger than you expect. The limited-edition, beautifully pristine presentation box makes it the perfect gift for lovers of peaty and powerful whiskies.
