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.

high quality whisky bottled at 46% abv, un-chilled filtered and natural color. Notes of fruits, specifically young unripe fruits such as green apples, citrus, herbal and oak. Not sweet at all, if you like sweet than this is not for you, i would say its quite bitter but its very good indeed. i will definitely order a second bottle.
on my forth bottle of this gem,it has to be the best 13 yr old i ever had.it should be standard practice,no chill filtration 46 abv. no e150 COLORANT USED.THIS SINGLE MALT GIVES MOST OLDER SCOTCHES SOMETHING TO ASPIRE TO. 40% ABV. COLORING CHILL FILTERED STANDARD BULLSHIT IN THE SCOTCH INDUSTRY. BRAVO CRAIGELLACHIE welcome to america!!!!
A long wait for an official bottling but worth it.Plenty of flavour a bit of smoke and a long rewarding finish.From memory maybe not as full bodied as the old 14 year old but memories can play tricks on you.
Golden color. It is not chill filtered so it gets cloudy when it gets cool. Nose is herbal, oaky with some fruit in the background. Give it a drop of water and some time and nose emerges nicely. Delivery is big and oaky. Citrus, herbal with slight dried fruit on the palate. Finish is quite long. oaky & dry. The label claims this is old fashioned whisky. I believe it. I like it. Not floral or sweet like many Speysiders. Very entertaining.
