Bottle Detail
Craigellachie 17 Year Old Single Malt Whisky 700ml
Craigellachie distillery sits nestled in the heart of Speyside atop a rock overlooking the confluence of two great rivers, the Fiddich and the Spey.
The distillery was built by Peter Mackie and Alexander Edward in 1891 and still uses traditional worm tubs giving the resulting malt a distinctive meaty, sulphury character.
Primarily used for Dewar's blends, Craigellachie has only recently begun releasing single malts.
TASTING NOTES
Nose:
Smooth and mellow with inviting aromas of vanilla, exotic fruits, and dried pineapple, balanced by a soft layer of smoky liquorice.
Palate:
Rich and complex with a silky texture, unveiling sweet notes of tropical fruits that evolve into subtle spice and creamy depth. The mouthfeel is luxurious, evoking the sensation of thick Greek yogurt.
Finish:
Vibrantly tangy with a burst of lemon zest leading into a malty return that’s comforting and warm—a full-bodied farewell that lingers like a goodnight kiss.
