Tasting Notes

Craigellachie 12 Year Old Oloroso Cask Finish (Darkness) is a symphony of flavors that will captivate your senses. Imagine a rich, fruity medley of blueberries and prunes, intertwined with the refreshing touch of mint chocolate, creating a harmonious overture. As you savor this whisky, the robust malt and treacly toffee embrace your palate, dancing alongside charred tropical fruit and burnt caramel. A hint of cacao and spice emerges, adding depth and complexity to the experience. The finish lingers with cooked apples dusted with sweet spice, gingerbread, honeyed dates, and cocoa, leaving you craving for more. This single malt spent 12 years maturing, including a finish in an oloroso sherry octave cask, ensuring an intensely sherried character that is the hallmark of the Darkness range.
