Craigellachie Hunter Laing's Old & Rare Single Cask Single Malt Scotch Whisky 30 Year Old · 1995 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with coppery glow and mahogany undertones; a warm chestnut core that hints at sherry influence.

Nose

Opulent and brooding, the nose opens with a rich sherry glow—raisins, fig and prune layered with dark chocolate and orange zest. Cinnamon and clove mingle with nutmeg, while toasted almond and treacle add sweetness. Waxy malt, leather and polished oak anchor the aroma, as a warm, long finish lingers.

Palate

Opulent and weighty, the palate delivers dark fig and plum bathed in sherry’s toffee and dried-fruit sweetness. Waxy, mouthcoating texture builds with cinnamon, clove and nutmeg, supported by polished oak and sturdy tannins. Dried orange zest and cocoa emerge mid-palate, hinting at leathered richness. The finish is long and contemplative, slowly fading with elegant spice and a refined, lingering warmth.

Finish

Opulent, long finish: dried plum and fig mingle with dark chocolate and toasted oak, kissed by a whisper of sherry. Spices like cinnamon and clove linger as the velvety fruit fades, leaving tobacco, resin and a warm, peppery glow that lingers well beyond the last sip.
