Crabbie 8 Year Old

At some point in the 1970s, John Crabbie & Co stopped producing their whiskies - but in early 2018, they returned to the fray! As their own distillery in Edinburgh gets up and running, they released a pair of single malt whiskies from undisclosed distilleries, including this 8 Year Old expression (and a 30 Year Old, too). It's based around their original 8 Year Old Blend produced long ago, but intriguingly a bit different...

Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt

Nose Caramel, raisin and honey-coated peanuts.

Palate Buttered scones, waxy orange peel and a touch of cassia.

Finish Lingering orange oil sweetness.

Reviews for Crabbie 8 Year Old
pleasant and smooth
Very pleasant and a nice after taste quite smooth and drinkable

Mysterious bottling punches above its weight
Have been told that this is from a distillery somewhere on the border of the Highland and Speyside regions. Tomatin or Royal Brackla maybe?

In any case it's very drinkable for the money.

Young, but good drinking!
Decided to give this one a try, bought a bottle from MOM.
On the nose was malt and lemon.
The palate had a nice peppery “bite” to it, with fruit and caramel.
Medium-finish with lingering cereal, biscuits (vanilla?), honey and a waft of smoke. Not bad at all.

Would definitely buy another
Was given a bottle for Christmas and very nice too.
Lovely taste for an 8year old.

Very pleasant!
Received a sample bottle as a whisky Santa gift and although it was frèe it was very drinkable for a younger whisky. Citrusy and a bit peppery with vanilla notes and slight honey. Would definitely consider a full bottle for the cabinet.

Interesting!
Well... OK, as I'm the first...

Nose is very granola. Cereal & honey, with some vanilla and citrus.
Surprisingly mellow palate - Lemon tart with vanilla notes.
Decent finish - Spicy ginger & vanilla, with caramel providing good sweetness.

I took a sample, out of interest.

At the price, I wouldn't have been P'd off, if I'd gone for a bottle.
