The second from the pack of samples I picked up letting me dip my toe outside my normal peat pool.
Craigellachie 14, 2004 Vintage, Scotch Malt Whisky Society 44.99, Speyside Single Malt, 55.9% ABV
Minutia: Distilled on June 9, 2004 and matured in a refill ex-bourbon barrel for 14 years yielding 188 bottles. This is part of the Spicy & Dry flavor profile named “A real cracker”. Enjoyed neat in a glencairn.
Color: Pale gold, 0.3.
Nose: Malt, yellow apple. Light nuts.
Taste: Sweet into dry, buttery.
Finish: Olive oil-dipped bread. Floral, apple. Medium.
Another one that didn’t quite hit the notes I like most, but did work for me a bit. I suspect those who aren’t very big on peat would enjoy this a good deal.
Score: 73
