General description

On first approach, it is pleasantly soft and gentile without being boring. There is a nice balance of spirit and Cask influence. It carries notes of malt, citrus, and a very slight hint of peat smoke. Weirdly, this seems like what a Ledaig 10 or a Bowmore 15 Golden and Elegant would be like with much lower peat levels, but still with that hint of peat.

General description

floral. not too smokey. short finish

General description

Nice dram

General description

zachte whisky

General description

Smooth and much lighter wood. Much more subtle and nuanced than most Speysides with just a whiff of smoke and a touch of heat on the finish. Very nice on the first tasting.

General description

18 Aug 2020 - Its Muscat/Tawny in colour from our guide. Soft oily film on the glass. First whiff was magnificent. Fruity & sweet, with zero, of the anticipated smoke from other reviews. Taste is superb, herbal fresh, spirit is delicate but pleasurable, mint, then smoke is ever so mild at the end, but perfect. A little short is the finish, be better @ 43/46? but this is a great drop & so welcome in my growing collection.
4th Sep: Nothing to add 👍- no need to dilute which was my intent, as it has everything.

Nose

Fruit, herbal, mint, even vanilla?

Palate

Smoke just shows itself at the end. Benign spirit, but perfect, mint, chocolatey & the sherry is obvious.👍

Finish

Medium finish but so good, you want it longer. Smoke fades, chocolate & spice!
A distant dry woodiness!

This Whisky and Craigellachie 13 are the best Speyside whiskies you can buy. More complex and flavour then Macallan and a lot cheaper.

Vanilla and coconut leads briefly then Macadamia and a little honey follow, then comes the real nuttiness and a little spice like nutmeg.

A nice, spicey oak and nutty finish and returning for an encore, is the subtle vanilla and coconut.
