Craigellachie 19 Year Old Review

You will need your passport to get a taste of this one as the Craigellachie 19 year old is exclusive to travel retail and like all the bottlings in the Craigellachie 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: Grassy and herbal notes. Honey, vanilla, grapefruit, pineapple, cinnamon.

Taste:  A delicious sugar sweet sulphury mildly smoky malt laden delivery, candied fruit, zesty orange & lemon, pineapple. Ripe plum, honey and vanilla, marzipan, cinnamon all coated mature oak spice.

Finish: Long, sulphury (a good sulphur), cereal, grassy, balanced by mildly drying sweet oak spice.

Comment: Certainly the most sulphured out of the new Craigellachie range but this makes it more attractive to me. I would swear this deliciously muscular Speysider is older than the 19 years stated on the bottled. You will need to dust off your passport for this one but it is well worth it. Definitely one to look out for on your travels.

SMW Score 92/100
