Tasting Notes
Colour
Rich amber-gold with copper highlights and a touch of mahogany.
Nose
Opulent and rustic, the nose greets with sherry-soaked fruit—raisins, figs and plum—layered over dark cocoa, toffee and toasted almond. Spices drift through polished oak, a touch of leather, and a subtle, smoky whisper that hints at Craigellachie’s signature, rugged Speyside character.
Palate
Firm, malty presence with a chewy, waxy texture. Layers of vanilla and toffee mingle with warm spice—cinnamon, nutmeg, and white pepper—over a backbone of dried citrus and polished oak. Gentle hints of grilled apple and heather honey drift into a long, resinous finish.
Finish
Long, refined finish with warm spice and oak, a whisper of dried fruit and citrus, and a gentle, smoky fade that lingers softly on the palate.
