Craigellachie Samurai 11 Year Old, Sherry Butt Cask, Cask #305809, 2009, Signatory Vintage, 59%

A Maltiply member's tasting notes and whisky impression.

82 / 100

Plums and dark, wet wood lead into raisins, dark chocolate and woody spice. I like the grip, but the astringency and distinct alcohol on the nose keep this from getting a free pass. Plenty of character; not quite enough balance.
