Craigellachie 13 Year Armagnac Cask Finish

Single Malt — Speyside, Scotland

Reviewed October 10, 2022 (edited April 9, 2023)
1.75
1.75 out of 5 stars
I've become a self confessed Craigellachie fan boy over the last 2-3 years. From some IB's to the exceptional casks all the way down to the 13 year, I've had a few off ones, but overall they've been wonderful! Nose - Musty grapes, touch of citrus oak, bit of light funk. There's a hint of oak smoke and a slight toast base. Taste - Ok, up front it's lovely sweetness, funky toasted heavy oak, funk and a white wine note. It's not doing me anything or any good here. But let me put my head back around this. This is coming off differently than when I last had this. Last time the funky oak note that the worm tubs can often give me an off putting finish. Now the finish is a weird, really weird white wine, certainly no armagnac I've had. Now the oaky/nutty thing is still here for sure. I love Craigellachie, I get a lot of great notes here. I hate the bas-armagnac impact here. I'll give it a 1.75, there's just way too many better bottles. But it's unique and there's a place for that.
