Though pleasant, a relatively unremarkable example of the region. L Mulligan Spey at Home tasting 1/5/20
Nose
a little dusty
Palate
golden syrup, grapefruit.
Finish
nice and mellow if short

General description
This Whisky and Craigellachie 13 are the best Speyside whiskies you can buy. More complex and flavour then Macallan and a lot cheaper.
Nose
Pineapple, Walnut, Honey coated Macadamias and pear
Palate
Vanilla and coconut leads briefly then Macadamia and a little honey follow, then comes the real nuttiness and a little spice like nutmeg.
Finish
A nice, spicey oak and nutty finish and returning for an encore, is the subtle vanilla and coconut.

Medium, oak coming through.

one of my favorites... my reference pallet is limited. But I would say this is less floral and fruity and more caramel and vanilla sweet than other speysides.
