A range of Craigellachie single malts was released for the first time in 2014. The distillery is known for its meaty character, and the 13-year-old is sweet, spicy and slightly smoky. Matured in a combination of ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks. Non-chill filtered, and naturally coloured.
Comment: A world away from the delicate Speyside style, this is full of fruit, fire and flavour
In summary, Craigellachie 13 Year Old is a full-flavoured whisky with a meaty character and a balance of smokiness and fruitiness. Its unique flavor profile makes it a great choice for those who enjoy a robust and complex whisky.
Craigellachie 13 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Tasting Notes:
- Nose: Big tropical-fruit aromas at first – mango and pineapple – followed by sweet and savoury notes of ham glazed with Demerara sugar and a whiff of barbecue smoke
- Palate: More sweet fruit, tempered by savoury smokiness. Punchy and full-flavoured, with the meaty smoke balancing well with the refreshing tropical fruit. Mouth-filling texture
- Finish: The smoked-meat notes gently fade, along with a hint of spent match
