Founded in 1890, the Craigellachie distillery was renovated in 1964, its number of stills increasing from two to four. It is also equipped with eight larch fermentation tanks (washbacks). Since 1998, it has belonged to the Bacardi company. If only one of the qualities of the aromatic and taste palette of this version had to be retained, it would undoubtedly be the extremely melted way in which the three stages of tasting are linked to one another. this balance is based in particular on a spine that is at once leaky, malty herbaceous and spicy.

Tasting Notes

Powerful, the first nose is fruity (apple), herbaceous and spicy (ginger). When aired, it becomes jammy (apricot) and malty (porridge). Dynamic, the attack on the palate is vanilla and farmy (straw). The mid-palate is powdery (cocoa).
