Product Description

Aberlour Casg Annamh, a beacon of Scotch whisky craftsmanship, hails from the iconic Aberlour Distillery situated in the heart of Scotland’s illustrious Speyside region. "Casg Annamh" translates to "rare cask" in Gaelic, setting the tone for a whisky steeped in heritage yet trailblazing in its approach. This No Age Statement (NAS) expression primarily matures in a trio of cask types: European oak sherry casks, American oak sherry casks, and American oak bourbon barrels, resulting in an extraordinarily layered and balanced profile. With an impressive ABV of 48%, it retains a robustness that complements its complexity. This exceptional whisky is now available for exclusive purchase at Third Base Market & Spirits, a sanctuary for true whisky devotees.
