Festivity Drink: Aberlour Casg Annamn.

It was indisputable that the state of Israel must exist, but Britain was imposing restrictions, which were on immigration and land purchase, and Arabs were against the fact itself. There was nothing left but to proclaim and fight. This time, I decided to revere the tradition of celebration of Israeli independence, which from sundown on April 21 to nightfall on April 22 this year.

I chose the Scottish whisky Aberlour Casg Annamn. The drink’s percentage is forty-eight. I tried to recall how it ended up in the drink list, because while I am accepting of American casks, I haven’t that toward barrels in which kept sherry, or any wine. I usually avoid special, limited and whatever alike series as well. Perhaps I made a single exclusion among all the aforementioned in the Aberlour series because the palate section wasn’t so frightening, or these details were absent at that time.

The color is dark brown which was brightened. It made me think of Eastern European kompot (a drink basing on dried fruits). Its aroma is multifold that showing its complexity and you get sherry. The wheat emerges later, followed by flowers without needful a strong character, and sometimes it makes you feel that you walk in this field. The next transformation is a smell of a wheat field.

The palate isn’t tender to your mouth, but stable when you take it. It pinches lovely in a long holding. Sherry senses some time later.

The serious aftertaste with sherry once again. Later, the unacceptable kompot flavor solidifies, but it will gone.

The whisky pleases with its wonderful character, which it isn’t my favorite, but that emerging kompot later in the aftertaste isn’t what I wish in the searching for delight. It disappears, and that makes the aque vitae as it was before, but a small portion of it returns, which is bearable, and disperses again.

Glory to Israel! Happy Yom Ha’atzmaut!
