One of the three official Craigellachie bottlings released in 2014, the distillery's 13-year-old single malt Scotch whisky handsomely shows off the bold, robust character of the distillery's output. Think heaps of dynamic fruit notes with a distinctive current of smoke running through the middle. Single malt Craigellachie wasn't seen much outside of indie bottlings for a long time, and we don't take for granted how lovely it is to see Speysider thrive.

Apple orchards in bloom, slightly meaty, burnt popcorn, treacle tart.
Oily malt arrives first, followed by BBQ pineapple and summer berries. Pine nuts and almonds.
A very soft hint of sulphur hides behind biscuit and apple notes.
want very impressed but for the price there are worse options for sure
Good malt for the price. ($43 at the NEX on sale). I'm not going to ramble about fruity, or smoke or any of that... The taste is on the tongue of the sipper. Like my Malts and this is a good one. Wow!
I cannot get the flavor and smell of banana oil (isoamyl acetate) out of my head while drinking this. Having bought it on the strength of reviews I saw everywhere I was disappointed.
Fruity, quickly develops to spicy, mellows back to little citrussy and finishes to a mild, pleasant fruity taste. Somewhat unique.
Wonderful! Enough said..
