Craigellachie 13 YO Bas-Armagnac Cask Finish Whisky 700ml
Ooh, Craigellachie has gone and made a rather intriguing expression here – a single malt Scotch whisky finished in Bas-Armagnac casks! You don't see that very often at all! Inspired by the distillery's use of worm tub condensers, this expression shows off the spirit's familiarly bold profile that is imparted by said condensers in all its glory.
TASTING NOTES
Nose
Nectarine, flamed orange peel, toffee pennies, a hint of tobacco.
Palate
Fragrant wood with a touch of smoke to it, mellowed by vanilla tablet and shortbread. A good crackle of peppercorn and some oily malt.
Finish
Freshly-crushed cooking spices, cedar, honeycomb.
