Craigellachie 13 Year

Actually this is a review for the Battle hill eight-year-old Craigellachie Cask Strength 58.0 ABV 1/1,200 bottles. On the nose it is honey, vanilla, butter and boiled apricots. On the palate it's slightly oily, peated, plums and pears, and pink peppercorns. On the finish there is more fruit, and an oak dryness with a lingering heat. This dram dramatically smooths out with a little bit of water added, the fruit flavors are more present and the oiliness shifts towards a more creamy palate, the lingering warmth still remains. This Battle Hill (Duncan Taylor) independent bottling is a steal at $48
