Craigellachie
13 Year Old Review
 The
entry level bottling in the new
Craigellachie single malt whisky range
is the Craigellachie 13 year old, like
all the bottlings in the range it is
presented in its natural unadulterated
form, bottled at 46%ABV, non-chill
filtered, no added caramel colouring and
it carries a clear age statement, just
as we like it.
William
Morrison's Tasting Notes:
Nose: Apples and pear, a touch of
creamy vanilla, mildly sweet malt, some
raisins in there also. An earthiness and
wee hint of spirity sulphur.
Taste: A lovely creamy
softness, a few burnt raisins, the
gentlest touch of smoke, malty,
fresh apple, lemon, grassy. Always a
trace of sulphur in the background.
Finish: Longish, a slight
sulphury bitterness tussles with a mild
candied sweetness, touch of white pepper
and a mildly drying earthy oakiness.
Comment:
I spent some time nosing this one,
getting to know it. A slightly younger
nose than the age statement tells us but
that is not a bad thing, in fact quite
the opposite. Very enjoyable on the
palate, a lovely softness but a
feistiness there also.
