Craigellachie Cadenhead's Single Malt Scotch Whisky Miniature 12 Year Old

Colour

A rich, sunlit amber with warm coppery highlights and a honey-gold sheen.

Nose

Bold, waxy nose with polished barley and honeyed orchard fruit. Sun-warmed orange zest, toffee, and a hint of sherry-softened dried fruit deepen the aroma. Rustic sulfur and nutmeg spice drift through oak, delivering a creamy, resinous core that hints at smoky, coastal richness.

Palate

Full-bodied and velvety, this Craigellachie coats the palate with a waxy, creamy texture. Rich toffee and fig unfold into dark chocolate, banana, and orange zest, while clove and black pepper spice lift the mid-palate. Oak backbone lends structure, guiding a long, warming finish where malt sweetness lingers with dried fruit and subtle spice.

Finish

Long, warming finish that clings with spicy depth. Cinnamon and clove ride over dark fruit, dates and chocolate, with toasted oak providing structure. The high ABV primes a peppery, resinous fade that slowly tapers to vanilla, a touch of leather, and a lingering, comforting warmth.
