Craigellachie – A Brand New Range of Single Malts That Pay Tribute To The Original Distilling Methods of 1891 at the Whisky Shop – Scotch Whisky News

WSheader

Craigellachie – a brand new range of single malts that pay tribute to the original distilling methods of 1891. The Craigellachie distillery was described as old-fashioned even in 1891 as they used ‘worm tubs’ to cool the vapour down and condense the spirit back into liquid form. This increasingly rare and old fashioned method is still in use at Craigellachie today and creates a unique strong and meaty character.

Craigellachie 13 year old

The colour of Pinot Grigio white wine, from refill American oak casks. A youthful nose, with creamy rice pudding as a top note, acidic tropical fruitiness in the middle and the most subtle hint of smoke at the back. The taste follows this: sweet, acidic, slightly smoky.

Craigellachie 17 year old

Full gold in colour, from American oak casks. Strikingly more aromatic and fruity that the 13YO: An oily mouthfeel and a sweet, slightly acidic taste, with nougat in the aftertaste.

Craigellachie 23 year old

Chardonnay in colour, from American oak casks. A deeply mellow aroma, with putty and woodsmoke. A voluptuous texture, and all these scents are translated into tastes. A drop of water develops both aroma and taste, now slightly mentholated. A delicious dram.
