So another bottle from my chicago trip, this one i opened yesterday morning after starting my day with a lag 25 year....yes this was my "second breakfast" lol.
nose - a billowing sweet cloud of awesome comes off this. Sweet candied fruits, vanillas, almost a red fruit rollup meets complex sugary oak. Wow it's awesome.
Taste - The opening is sweet, fruity, mellow, with baking spices, some nutmeg, tannin, it's complex but not overly so. Its far from a stunner on the up front taste and then we have the finish. And oh what a finish and a LONG finish. The finish starts with a spike in the alcohol that leads to tootsie roll chocolates, there's a lingering spice and heat that lasts and lasts. There's a savory element here too but it's swarmed with sweetness all around.
So it's pretty epic overall. This is far more a clean and subtle dram from Craigellachie vs their more sulfur infused 23 year. That said this is wonderful whisky. To make it all the better it's a damn steal at 200 bucks. This is a Craigellachie for those who are a bit agnostic with the brand but love rich complex sweet dram that are balanced with unique complexity and one of the longest damn finishes you'll have.
4.25...yes it is THAT freaking good!
