Malt Grasp, Stephanie Macleod feedback “Slumbering in refill casks for greater than three many years has actually allowed for Craigellachie’s difficult distillery type to shine by. The pineapple flavour be aware Craigellachie is so well-known for has aged superbly. Ending in first-fill casks – one of the influential forms of cask, when it comes to their contribution to the flavour – has bestowed notes of creamy coconut, vanilla and citrus to the aged malt, giving it a lift of indulgent complexity.”

Faint whispers of fireside embers emerge with the addition of water then fade to spicy vanilla and delicate oak-derived coconut. The palate is boldly complicated with candy acidity at first, mellowing to smooth fruits and almonds with a protracted, indulgent end.”
