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.

I'm 69. Budget 15 year taster. When I was flush, A'Bunadh was king. Read a bunch of reviews about this whisky and bought two, delivered this afternoon. So happy. Decided to leave a rare comment for someone like me looking for a righteous, old-world oily, robust, huge flavor whisky for around 60 bucks, on-line, in the U.S. Oily. Muscular. Warm delicious flavors. 92 proof wonderful heat. Not filtered. Original, same as it was in 1891. I use the 'tongue spoon' style of tasting. I cup my tongue. Take a sip. Move my head around a little-taste the flavors. Then, soft inhale into my throat- a nice warm rush. Finally, swish around my mouth. Subdued explosion. Fantastic. Before I sat down to write this, I pulled the pin and ordered two more bottles. Time to go back to the living room for another sip.
Huaooo!!! Un 13enne eccezionale una combinazione di sapori veramente al top.... Consigliato.
Light, Very delicate and complex. I never enjoyed Scotch until sampling Craig. I'm hooked
Enjoyed after a decadent meal at level 55 in Melbourne. I am normally a islay tragic but this GEM WAS O SO SMOTH WITH A DELICATE LINGRING FINISH. Just got back to hotel room and I am comparing it to a select Laphroaig and you Can’t they are different animals.but I will be sourcing one
Very interesting, complex, more friendly to my palate than some of the heavy peat flavors. The tiny suggestion of smoke was perfect!
