Description
The taste of the Whisky was described as "Old Fashioned" in 1891. Today the same old-fashioned Worm Tubs are used to cool the spirit, creating a dram to rival whiskies twice its age with a distinctive, meaty character. Craigellachie 33 year old is a true treasure. This splendid dram is the product of one distillery and a rare sherry finesse limited to 1,700 bottles globally and exclusive to the discerning traveller. Craigellachie 33 year old is non- chill filtered and free from caramel. This is truly a rare and exquisite bottle. Nose: Loads of Honey. Mead and mint, stem ginger in syrup. Lovely toffee fudge sweetness. Dried apricots and sultanas. Palate: Shadows the nose, and the depth of apple/cider/mead layers is evident. Golden syrup, milky coffee, and plenty of vanilla. With a velvety, slightly cloying texture.Finish: Long, warming, full of mead, ginger warmth and just a hint of mint and nutmeg.
