Dràm Mòr’s 2020 Autumn releases is quite an eclectic mix of whiskies — they’ve applied finishes to four out of five of their latest single malts.
Aberlour 8 Years Old from the 1960s (Twice!)
I’ve been sitting on these samples for a long while but now the time has finally come to dive into the two oldest Aberlour I’ve ever tasted.
Aberlour 1993 25 Years (The Whisky Exchange)
Aberlour is mostly known for their sherry-influenced single malts, but their fully bourbon-matured whiskies tend to be pretty interesting too.
Aberlour Casg Annamh Batch #1 (2018)
Young, oak forward and not very inspiring. Before the recent price hike, you used to be able get an Aberlour a’bunadh for this kind of money. The Casg Annamh is an inadequate replacement if you ask me.
Aberlour 1992 25 Years Old (Whiskybroker.co.uk)
Not too long ago, Whiskybroker.co.uk released a 25 year old whisky from a prime distillery for ridiculous money. And usually when you say ridiculous money in context of the whisky industry, it means a lot. This is the exact opposite of that though.
Aberlour a’bunadh Batch #53 (2015)
Good? Yes. Decent value for money? Totally. However, this is not for the faint-hearted. Strong-willed and quite aggressive. Even diluting it with water doesn’t completely tame this whisky.
