Craigellachie 13YO Bas Armagnac Finish, 46%

THE VIDEO

Craigellachie really blew us all away. With a different. Flavour, as well as some very. Affordable release whiskies. Sadly, most of them have been discontinued, but we still have the ever wonderful Craigellachie 13YO to enjoy. But now we have a cask finish series….and this one has been. Finished in Bas Armagnac casks.

Bas Armagnac also relies on worm tubs for it’s condensation methods, so the two spirits have some similarities, but the fusion of the cask finish has given us some incredible savoury, different styles of flavour that are going to take quite a long time to unpack, god bless having the whole bottle to enjoy.

I picked this up from the ever reliable Royal Mile Whiskies while on holiday in Edinburgh – I was after some other stuff, but when Edinburgh is that busy, you have to get up early to get the new bottles. I will say, though, coming away with this was quite a joy, as for some reason it’s been so long since I’ve had a bottle of Craigellachie in the house.
