Tasting Notes
"Similar notes to the 13 year with minty and malty profile, but they seem slightly more heightened here. A fair amount of wood spices come about and soft smoke is found. Craigellachie is known for their sulfurous profile, and that holds true on this on this bottling. The fruit notes lean towards the orchard fruits like peaches, but the spice is what lingers on your palate on the finish."
