The Craigellachie 19yo Ex-Bourbon Finish is a remarkable whisky that showcases the distillery's commitment to exceptional craftsmanship. This expression, which was previously a travel retail exclusive, is a testament to Craigellachie's mastery over time and taste.
Aged for an impressive 19 years and bottled in 2023, the whisky undergoes a unique maturation process. Initially aged in a combination of cask types, it is then divided and finished in two different casks. Half of the vatting is transferred to first-fill sherry casks, while the other half is placed in first-fill bourbon casks. This meticulous process results in a complex and well-balanced whisky, featuring a pronounced biscuity sweetness and bold pineapple notes.
With an ABV of 46%, the Craigellachie 19yo Ex-Bourbon Finish offers a robust character. On the nose, expect aromas of toasted pineapple, biscuits, and dried meat. The palate reveals vibrant pineapple, meaty notes, caramel, biscuits, and sweet cinnamon spice. The finish is harmonious, balancing fruity and sweet notes with lingering hints of spice. Notably, this whisky is bottled without chill filtration or the addition of color, maintaining its purity and depth of flavor.
Craigellachie is a distillery with a rich history, dating back to its founding in 1891. Located in the heart of Speyside, the distillery is renowned for its traditional methods, including the use of worm tubs for condensation. These methods have established Craigellachie as a beacon of classic whisky-making.
In summary, the Craigellachie 19yo Ex-Bourbon Finish is a well-balanced and complex whisky that is sure to please fans of the distillery. Its unique maturation process and bold flavor profile make it a standout in the world of whisky.
