Craigellachie 13 Year Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky Singapore 700mL 46% ABV

Craigellachie 13 Year Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky Singapore is a 700mL whiskey with 46% Alcohol By Volume (ABV) from Scotland sold by Bevbrands Singapore.

One of the three official Craigellachie bottlings released in 2014, their 13 year old single malt Scotch whisky handsomely shows off the bold, robust character of the distillery’s output. Oodles of dynamic fruit notes with a distinctive current of smoke running through the middle.

A STYLE SELDOM MET

In 1891 a WHISKEY EXPERT noted that CRAIGELLACHIE represented a style of whisky “seldom met with now,” which we took as a compliment. Today we still use old-fashioned WORM TUBS to cool our spirit and bestow it with extra flavour, creating a dram to rival whiskies twice its age.

WORM TUBS

A WORM TUB is a long copper tube, sitting in a large tank of cold water, which snakes back and forth and gradually gets narrower. In 1891 many distilleries condensed their spirit this way, giving their whiskies a distinctive, meaty character. CRAIGELLACHIE is one of very few still benefiting from this traditional technique.

TASTING NOTES
Nose: Apple orchards in bloom, slightly meaty, burnt popcorn, treacle tart.

Palate: Oily malt arrives first, followed by BBQ pineapple and summer berries. Pine nuts and almonds.

Finish: A very soft hint of sulphur hides behind biscuit and apple notes.
