Craigellachie
Scotland
Single Malt
It used to be a rather rare sight to see an official bottling of Craigellachie single malt. Well after years of waiting, in 2014, four turned up all at once! The 17 year old expression really shows off the meatiness of this Speysider's spirit - top stuff.
Apple crumble, melon and raisins. Honey'd barley, a little hint of smoke and vanilla ice-cream.
It opens very sweet with pineapple and custard creams, though the meatiness soon shines through. More smoke on the palate than the nose, with a touch of clove and oak.
Waxy and smoky on the finish.
Nose: Gingerbread nose alongside the bourbon support. Palate: Pleasant mature sherry that risks sourness and that's it. There is a loft unused wood odour. Nose: A minor tail.
Mamma mia che dramm un equilibrio fantastico questo 17 enne merita un lode glorioso. Grazie Craigellachie.
This whisky has character and warmth, but for me it had just a little too much sharpness in taste; my partner said she definitely liked this malt.
Incredible whisky. Waxy finish coats the mouth while you get the glorious warm feeling through your chest. Would recommend to anyone and everyone.
This is a superb dram, and the balance is stunning. I am not a fan of the Craigellachie character overall, as it sometimes leans too much into sulfur, but here it matters not. The mixture of bourbon and sherry casks, plus ageing, is masterful. Fruits and ginger and warming spices, that is the story throughout, from nose to finish. This whisky can stand up too many strong contenders. Praiseworthy, bare hints of ancient wood, and heaps of spirit and cask flavor, all in the right balance. I am only one person but this blows away the 13 year expression; they are not even comparable.
