Craigellachie 13
Craigellachie 13- This Speyside hipster is a classic teenager, slightly off kilter and a touch funky. I found a “meaty” taste of salty sweetness initially and at 46% it packs a solid punch. The golden amber spirit uses classic worm tubs to cool the malt and that technique introduces some nice sulfur notes which are unique and there is no peaty smoke in the profile. The whisky is smoother than post Zamboni ice and thick as honey, quite enjoyable. The nose is lighter than the actual spirit and there is some mystery fruit mid taste. Fortunately for us finish is longer than this dreary election season and it has just a hint of teen angst…13 years in charred bourbon barrels have worked their usual magic and that makes my rating a snobbish 7, interesting and enjoyable, but not remarkable.

Mmm… worm tubs.

Well done Ken and your website is wonderful. Great photos and superb attention to detail. I hope a vaccine is around the corner so we can get the group back together.
Take care,
