Craigellachie 2012 cask # 2342 / 12YO / 58.7% / Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Region: Speyside
Cask: Virgin Oak Barrel
Style: Virgin Oak Finish
Colour: Burnt amber.
Nose: An intense nose.
Concentrated vanilla, caramel, crushed digestive biscuits and warm, buttery shortbread.
Taste: A warming dram, with that typical Craigellachie chunkiness.
The virgin oak influence is strong - pouring honey, sweet butterscotch, molten Demerara sugar and almond pralines.
Some sweet spiciness comes through at the back - nutmeg, and a little pepper - with a hint of marzipan too.
