Description

This Craigellachie 16 Year Old, independently bottled by Tri Carragh, was distilled in 2009 and bottled in 2025 from a single bourbon barrel. Known for its robust Speyside character, enhanced by traditional worm tub condensers, this single cask expression offers a distinctive meaty texture alongside the natural sweetness and fruit character from the bourbon cask. Bottled at cask strength (54.4%) with natural colour and no chill filtration, it presents a pure and bold expression of Craigellachie's style, profiling icing sugar, peaches, and apple over its more savoury notes.

Nose
Orchard fruits such as apples and pears, along with a more concentrated sweetness like syrup from tinned fruit. With water, more cereal notes develop, reminiscent of walking through a barley and fruit farm.
Palate
Continues the sweet theme with baked apple turnover coated with slightly burnt crystalised sugar on the crust, and the syrup sweetness prevails. On the reduced palate, it bursts with juicy fruits and sweetness, with peaches joining the array of flavours.
Finish
Not explicitly detailed as a separate finish in the provided snippets, but the palate notes suggest a lingering fruit and sweetness.
