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...
Caramel, raisin and honey-coated peanuts.
Buttered scones, waxy orange peel and a touch of cassia.
Lingering orange oil sweetness.

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. Ian
