Tasting
How it drinks
Sight
Light golden amber; natural colour, non-chill filtered with slight haze when cool. Medium legs
Nose
Honeyed berries, brassy and earthy notes with thick sweetness. Stewed pear, cold apple pie, melon — very bright and fresh. A subtle sulphury backbone emerges, the hallmark of Craigellachie's worm tub condensers
Palate
Spicy first hit — white pepper, ginger, cloves — then opens to a malty core of caramel, grilled pineapple, and a fresh mildly lactic note. Robust and muscular with hoards of exotic fruit. Medium body with an oily mouthfeel from the worm tubs
Finish
Medium-long finish. Caramel, grilled pineapple, a touch of smoke, and slight bitter citrus pith. The meaty sulphury character lingers as a savoury undertone
