Creag Dhu
Single Malt
Creag Dhu is a single malt Scotch whisky with a mission: to help preserve Scotland's peatlands. Funds from each bottle sold are donated to projects that are trying to save the peatlands, the UK's largest carbon store and a vital part of the fight against the climate crisis. The Speyside whisky itself is matured in sherry casks, and offers up helpings of dried fruit, nutty malt and oak spices.
Waxy orange peels, coffee and walnut cake, a good pinch of cinnamon.
Vanilla, honey, dates, more walnuts, and a hint of Toblerone.
Fruity on the finish with cooked apples and raisins.
This whisky delivers little complexity, it is smooth and easy to drink, however it lacks nose and palette in particular. To me I had to concentrate to detect orange peel, weak honey and weak vanilla cake on the nose with weak honey. Almonds and mild spices on the palette. The finish was simply mild spices. Quite forgettable. All my own taste and opinion of course.
What a delightful little gem I’ve found in this bottle of Speyside nectar. Don't be fooled by the pricing of this one, it punches way above its weight class. Buttery smooth, with hints of sweet fruity splendour, this one’s a keeper!
Exceptional whisky. Was gifted this single malt as a present and I can not recommend it highly enough as a great malt for the price point. Small batch and not easy to get but worth the search. Classic Speyside, beautiful spice and fruit.
What can I say. This turned up in my facebook feed last week. I google mapped it and realised I had actually looked it up in the past. There is no visible distillery and I'm not sure it actually falls into the Speyside category even though the location is close to the source of the river Spey but so is Dalwhinnie but that is a different debate. It's from the same folks that bring us Daffy's gin which I have never tried as I'm not a big fan of gin so I don't know whether its distilled on site or it is an independent bottling but regardless it is very good. I'll not do the whole nose and taste stuff, as I'm not an expert but after leaving for a couple of days after the initial opening, sniffing and tasting add a couple of ice cubes and WOW. Smooth and sweet. Honey and just a wee touch of smoke, possibly from the barrel charring, I wouldn't know, but no nasty aftertaste and....well I'll just have to buy another bottle to double check. This is well worth every penny.
Started drinking whiskey about 6 months ago out of the 10 i have tried so far creag dhu is easily on top.
