Craigellachie 12 Year Old Tasting Notes

Official tasting notes

Nose: Florals, tropical fruit, and citrus.

Palate: Pears and apples. Honey roast nuts. Warm spice.

Finish: Long finish with sweet orchard fruits.

Ed's review

Colour: Natural colour, pale straw, oily in the glass.

Nose: Autumnal apples, pears and black grapes on the farmhouse oak table. Cinnamon sticks, cloves and muscovado sugar.

Palate: Medium mouthfeel. A rolling sweetness, balanced against warming spice. Apple flan sprinkled with brown sugar and served with vanilla cream. The alcohol is well integrated, you'd guess cask strength - but not an epic 62.6%! A drop of water helps round the palate and highlights a lovely, classic, bourbon cask profile.

Finish: Medium length. Apples, wood spice and oak move into a warming finale.
