One of the latest releases from the famous Aberlour is this expression called "Casg Annamh" which is actually a gaelic way to say "Rare Cask".
Bottled at 48%abv, beautiful deep copper color.
On the nose, coffee, wet grass, chocolate, orange, humidity, plums and cocoa butter. Very interesting.
On the palate, much more straightforward, but it works perfectly. Dark chocolate, with a heavy cocoa percentage. Oranges, almonds, vanilla, milk powder, cherries.
Aftertaste is all about ginger spice, tobacco and a little ashy. Burnt oak.
Overall, i think the 48%abv is giving this dram a nice bouquet of flavors, much easier to drink than the A'bunadh, and should definitively make part of your collection. 88/100
