Craigellachie 13yo.

[sorren]

I recently reviewed 5 malts from Craigellachie, the 13,17,19,21 and 23yo, here is the first of them.. The 13yo is bottled at 46%, is NCFand has natural colour.

Nose.. The nose starts off slow with distinct fruity notes, apples, banana and candied pears, waves of vanilla and honey rise up in the clutches of subtle smoke and a malty undertone.



Palate.. This is left field of the nose, more sweeter than I expected, honey is in the forefront with vanilla pods and toffee prominent, a little floral and herbal note hide in the background while a little spicy kick dances on the tongue..



Finish.. The finish is medium and warming and leaves you feeling satisfied..



Thoughts.. This 13yo has a lovely feel to it, a perfect everyday kind of dram. It is above an entry level type of whisky but not overly complicated, you will get plenty out of it.. And lots of enjoyment..
