(“Whiskybase”, “we” or “us”, company details below) offers a whisky enthusiasts online platform that provides its members access to the most comprehensive, transparent and trusted resource of whisky bottles and allows and stimulates its members to contribute information about whisky bottles to the platform (“Service”). There is the slightest hint of spice, a delicate cinnamon note that serves to blow up those mouth watering sugary overtones; a symphony of flavour, with all the crucial notes coming together in perfect harmony. The linger of the finish doesn’t last too long, but just enough to taste that caramel again and the slightest hint of lemon and lime citrus notes. Our penultimate stop on the Craigellachie malt tour is the 23 Year Old. Our Service is an online platform which provides Members with information (e.g. bottle facts, market-indices, market values and prices) on (mostly) whisky and allows Members to add information to the platform. We do not sell, nor does the Service provide any option to buy, any alcoholic products.

Craigellachie’s distillery, however, was only built in 1890. Designed by Charles Doig, it was built with all modern conveniences with the express intention of making a lighter fruitier character than the older distilleries – one of the earliest descriptors of Craigellachie mentions pineapple as a desireable aroma. A meatier, fuller version of the 13yo. Pleasing, of solid quality, and IMO a welcome upgrade on the younger version. This warming dram starts with a nose of oily fruits and peppery spices. Deep dark fruits, heavy sherry influence and dominance. The palette allows the flavours to be fully explored. Sweet pineapple and a nutty spice come through, alongside sweet hazelnuts and oak wood. Feels more mature and rounded on the tongue than then 13yo. Weightier too. I really like these subtle mature oak touches. There is a bit of booziness to it, but just a few drops of water dispel that if necessary. There is a wisp of peat smoke here as well. I get a drying feeling in my gums when I keep it in my mouth for a while. Its fierce independence and community-focused content is funded by that same community.

But beginning in the right place, the nose that is, the senses are set ablaze with a sulphuric smokiness that sparks alongside a tangy apple sweetness. On the palette this is developed and it tastes like a whole fruit bowl has been dissolved in the malty liquid. The second form of sulphur comes from barley and is naturally produced during the whisky-making process. If you cut down the amount of copper available to spirit vapour the higher the sulphur levels in the new make will be. What appears to not have been understood is that this sulphur disappears in time. It acts as a marker;an indication that once its cloak has been lifted a spirit will emerge either as meaty (Cragganmore, Mortlach, Benrinnes) or fragrant (Glenkinchie, Speyburn, Balblair, AnCnoc, and Craigellachie) In other words, sulphur can be desirable.

The mouthfeel is not oily; much more astringent than I expected! Spicy, oaky, watered down apple flavours, charred barrel, iodine with a hint of minerals. Peppery, apple, and more apple, creamed honey. Medium-long finish. On the one hand, it’s a decent whisky. I’d like another glass at some point. There are some very classic Craigellachie notes, there’s certainly more character than you’d find in some other whiskies, and there’s a good bit going on. Nose: Apple crumble, melon and raisins. Honey'd barley, a little hint of smoke and vanilla ice-cream.

As one of mine and my wife’s favourite whiskies, and whisky ranges, I was always going to be excited about reviewing the full range of products, as well as visiting the distillery (although the write up of that will come in a few weeks once I’ve been…).

Palate: It opens very sweet with pineapple and custard creams, though the meatiness soon shines through. More smoke on the palate than the nose, with a touch of clove and oak. So little wonder then that most of us are likely looking to spend our hard-earned cash (and looking at the state we’re in today, that’s not even an exaggerated idiom) on value-for-money whiskies rather than on bottles that are, by and large, at least 33% overpriced. The fact that both the 17 and 23yo were put in the premium market as soon as they were initially released in 2014 — in tempore non suspecto, so to speak— means they were not victims of an overnight price hike like we see with some popular Diageo expressions today. This does not, in my book, help their case. This cookie is set by Rubicon Project to control synchronization of user identification and exchange of user data between various ad services. Henry – From the nose to the finish, there’s an underlying note of brine reminiscent of a coastal sherry. Apple blossom and Asian pear on the nose, with a tannic, oaky astringency on the palate which again hints of sherry, but sweeter.

While I don’t feel like going on yet another rant about exuberant whisky prices, there are some points to be made, both in general and regarding this 17-year-old Craigellachie. A seemingly endless thirst for whisky, combined with love/hate relationships between producers of malt whisky on the one hand and big grain whisky factories on the other, pushed all involved in the industry to crank up production. On top of that, the Speyside region was reaping the fruits of welcoming in the railroad system, meaning that, all of a sudden, transport of goods both in and out became much, much, easier. It’s little wonder that around 1890–1900, we see a plethora of new distilleries popping up mainly, but not exclusively, in Speyside. However, if you’ve found a particular article valuable, you also have the option to make a direct donation to the writer, here: buy me a dram - you’d make their day. Thank you.It consciously makes no concessions to modern-day house rules. Craigellachie is an unapologetic and unique whisky, robust and muscular with a hint of pineapple. The distillery was built in 1891, when the great alfred barnard described our whisky as 'a style seldom met', and we've been old fashioned - in style and flavour - ever since. A little of smoke and malty. After 5 mins the melon and floral flavor come out (I can imagine this aroma is given by the aromatic compound called Beta Damascone).

It’s remarkable how similarities can be drawn between the whisky boom (and crash) at the turn of the twentieth century and what we’re experiencing today. But first, we need to talk about value…again.
