Tasting Notes
Colour
Rich copper-amber with mahogany depths and bronze highlights.
Nose
Opulent sherry-forward nose: sun-dried figs and prunes, orange zest, and cherry notes weave with dark chocolate, toffee, and warming spices. Rich oak, leather and tobacco add depth, while malt sweetness and a whisper of smoke round out a warm, decadent Speyside bouquet.
Palate
Rich, full-bodied and waxy on the palate, this Craigellachie delivers dark fruit backed by sherry influence. Fig and raisin sweetness folds around velvety oak, with cocoa, orange zest and a ribbon of gentle spice. It coats the mouth with depth and a long, warming, slightly sweet finish.
Finish
An opulent, lasting finish that clings with dried fruit, fig and dark chocolate, folded in warm spice and toasted oak. Sherry sweetness lingers gracefully, evolving into marzipan and a whisper of smoke, leaving the palate velvety, satiated and ready for another slow, contemplative sip.
