Craigellachie Drumbowie Cask Strength Whisky Miniature 21 Year Old · 1973 Vintage

Colour

Deep burnished amber with mahogany depths and coppery highlights.

Nose

Opulent sherried bouquet with ripe dried fruits—fig, raisin and date—swirled with dark caramel and toffee. Orange zest, cocoa and polished oak provide contrast, while cinnamon, clove and nutmeg lend perfumed warmth. Subtle leather and a whisper of smoke deepen the profile, hinting at a full, luxuriant palate to come.

Palate

Powerful and opulent, this Drumbowie cask-strength coats the palate with dark fruit and spice. Prune, fig and raisin mingle with orange zest, clove and cracked pepper, while sherry sweetness threads through toasted oak. Rich caramel and dark chocolate unfold into a velvety, chewy mouthfeel, finishing long and warming with cedar, tobacco and a subtle resin.

Finish

An extended, warming finish that lingers with sherry-sweetened fruit—fig, plum, and orange—woven with oak spice. Dark chocolate, leather, and toasted almond emerge, then a peppery, resinous kick fades into a long, refined glow of cinnamon and cedar. A dignified, lingering finish that coats the palate with the unmistakable character of cask-strength Craigellachie.
