Aberlour ‘Casg Annamh’ 48% Abv 2018

Colour: Gold.

Nose: Typical Aberlour, really. Nuts, Mars bars, rose petals, milk chocolate, butterscotch, roasted aisins, walnut cake, Ovaltine and morello cherries.

Mouth: Chocolate and malt cake, more Ovaltine, raisin cake, Christmas cake, more walnuts and Mars bars, toffee, cinnamon rolls…

Finish: Rather long, and clearly on panettone. A wee drop of mulled wine too, and even more Ovaltine mixed with orange liqueur in the aftertaste. Comments: Aberlour are very good at making this very style of malt whisky.
