Craigellachie Connoisseurs Choice Single Malt Scotch Whisky 16 Year Old · 1997 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with copper-gold sheen and mahogany edges, a warm ruby-tinted glow.

Nose

Sherry-drenched nose with dried fig, plum and chocolatey raisin notes, layered with orange zest, toffee and spice. Rich malt and oak carry hints of leather and wax, while a subtle rustic sulfur underpins Craigellachie’s distinctive, robust character.

Palate

Full-bodied and luxurious, this Craigellachie Connoisseurs Choice delivers sherried richness with a robust malt core. Dried fig and raisin mingle with orange zest, dark chocolate, and toasted almond. Cinnamon and clove spice warms the mid-palate, while velvety oak adds depth and a final hint of smoky resin that lingers warmly.

Finish

Long, warming finish infused with sherry sweetness; dark fruit, cocoa and toasted oak persist. Spices—cinnamon, clove, nutmeg—layer the tail, fading to orange zest and cedar. A luxurious, velvet fade that echoes the whisky’s bold, robust character.
