Craigellachie 13 Year Old Whisky

Tasting Note from Gabe, our North American Ambassador: Like firing a shotgun through a pineapple.

Craigellachie was built in 1891 by the experienced whisky team of Peter Mackie and Alexander Edward. They needed a Single Malt as an ingredient for White Horse Blended Scotch, so the distillery was designed to produce a very specific distillery style which the team replicate to this day.
Craigellachie features some very specific production techniques: barley from an oil fired kiln giving more weight, short stills and worm tub condensers to minimise copper contact. The team do 21 mashes per week, have 8 wash backs and 4 copper pot stills.
People always talk about 'sulphur' flavours, which can be distracting. Craigellachie has a roasted brimstone character alongside a meaty quality. Way back in the 1890s Alfred Barnard described "the chief characteristic of the Craigellachie brand is the pineapple flavour it develops with age". This tropical fruit style is what makes the brimstone and meat flavours work, achieving a balance that gets beautifully complex in older age statements.

Speyside single malt

The Craigellachie has been bought as a present and I will no doubt taste it in the New year with him. But from past experience with this malt I have never been dissapointed always an excellent choice. Delivery and packaging were very good and I would definitely by again direct from Dewers.

Craigellachie 13 great dram

The experience of purchasing from Dewar's Aberfeldy Distillery online shop was painless and the staff were extremely helpful and client focused. DHL delivery service seem to be a little problematical at present however Victoria from Dewar's persevered until issue with them sorted out. As for the whisky it is a moreish dram with good legs, nice mouthfeel and at 46% did not require water as nice and smooth.
Nose: honey, hay, fragrant, malted barley, barley sugar, hay.
Taste: barley sugar, citrus: lemon, fresh fruit, black pepper, ginger. Water brings up sweeter notes.
Finish Long: Toasted oak, pepper, barley sugar, malt.
