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.
