Craigellachie 19
Country: Scotland
Region: Speyside
Type: Single Malt
Bottler: Distiller
ABV: 46%
Score: 92 Points
This is a travel retail exclusive in the Craigellachie range introduced by Dewar’s/Bacardi in 2014. The nose is malty, grassy, and light on top, with a good complex spiciness underneath for balance adding touches of clove, cinnamon, vanilla, heather, and manuka honey. The taste has intense spices building up from the start with cinnamon, clove and white pepper that fade back to reveal sweeter touches of honey, chocolate, and marzipan. The finish is long and rich with spices that last and last, a slightly dry mouthfeel, and a touch of honey. Excellent! (November, 2014)
