The Craigellachie 13yo is a captivating single malt whisky boasting an ABV of 46% and a volume of 700ml. Carefully matured for 13 years and released in 2021, this expression is unchill-filtered and free from added coloring, ensuring an authentic experience. Produced at the Craigellachie Distillery, nestled in the Speyside region of Scotland, its name "Craigellachie" translates to "rocky hill" in Gaelic, aptly reflecting its location. Known for its robust and full-bodied character, this whisky greets the nose with aromas of roasted marshmallows, grilled pineapple, and baked apples, subtly laced with nutmeg. The palate reveals a delicate sweetness complemented by a subtle smoky undertone. The distillery employs traditional techniques like the use of "worm tubs" for cooling the spirit, adding depth and complexity rivaling whiskies twice its age. The Craigellachie 13yo is initially matured in a blend of ex-Bourbon and ex-Sherry casks, with half of the blend further aged in first-fill Sherry casks and the remaining half in first-fill Bourbon casks. This maturation process imparts rich exotic fruit flavors while maintaining the characteristic Speyside tartness. This whisky’s complex yet balanced profile makes it a delightful choice for both newcomers and seasoned whisky enthusiasts.
