Crabbie Yardhead Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Out of stock
Yardhead is the first non-age declared Single Malt Whisky from John Crabbie & Co. Distilled in the Highlands and matured exclusively in ex-Bourbon casks, Yardhead is ideal for mixing in both long drinks and Whisky cocktails, it breaks the rules of how consumers enjoy Single Malt Scotch Shisky.
Yardhead is named after the original site where John Crabbie distilled and matured Whisky in Edinburgh. Archive records show that Crabbie’s Whisky was housed in Bond 73 at Yardheads, in Leith and this became the home of the original Crabbie’s distillery.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Golden amber with sunlit honey hues.
Nose
Warm vanilla and creamy toffee lead, carried by toasted oak and a hint of coconut. Fresh orchard fruit and lemon zest brighten the mid-palate, while honeyed malt and a gentle spice linger softly.
Palate
A smooth, approachable palate with vanilla-driven sweetness from ex-Bourbon casks. Creamy toffee and honey unfold, balanced by light citrus zest and orchard fruit notes (apple, pear). Gentle oak and spice frame the mid-palate, while a silky, medium-bodied mouthfeel leads to a clean, warming finish.
Finish
Warm and lingering, the finish unfolds with creamy vanilla and subtle toffee, lifted by soft oak and a whisper of citrus zest. Bourbon-cask maturation leaves a gentle sweetness that lingers, tapering to a light peppery glow and a clean, approachable aftertaste.
