Tasting Notes

This Craigellachie 13 Year Old Bas-Armagnac Cask Finish is a unique and enticing expression that showcases the distillery's distinctive boldness. The nose tantalizes with alluring notes of nectarine, flamed orange peel, and toffee pennies, complemented by a hint of tobacco. On the palate, it unveils a fragrant wooden character with a touch of smoke, mellowed by the sweetness of vanilla tablet and shortbread. A delightful crackle of peppercorn and an oily maltiness add depth and complexity. The finish lingers with the aromas of freshly crushed cooking spices, cedar, and honeycomb, leaving a lasting impression. Inspired by the distillery's use of worm tub condensers, this expression truly embraces Craigellachie's famously bold spirit profile, enhanced by the unexpected touch of Bas-Armagnac cask finishing.
