“Wow this is the best whisky I've had for some time, even those similarly priced. It's so bright, cirtussy and vibrant. Also very oily mouth feel. I get apples, cut grass, jasmine, lillies, and lemmon drizzle cake. What a combo! Strange! As often happens on first opening, it was OK, and I opened a bottle of 30 quid Hinch irish that seemed better, but the next day I went back and was blown away. Shame its sold out!”

Description

Craigellachie shows off its distinct, unapologetic style in fashion with this impressive 17-year-old single malt. Initially matured in a host of bourbon and sherry casks, married, then divided equally between fresh, first-fill bourbon and sherry casks to finish, it boasts a robust, muscular profile with tropical hints of pineapple and meaty malt.

Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt

Nose

Apple crumble, melon and raisins. Honey'd barley, a little hint of smoke and vanilla ice-cream.

Palate

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.

Finish

Waxy and smoky on the finish.

Where positive anticipation crumbles

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.

Character and warmth but a little sharp for me

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.

Perfection

Incredible whisky. Waxy finish coats the mouth while you get the glorious warm feeling through your chest. Would recommend to anyone and everyone.

Stunning balance, glorious whisky

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.
