Craigellachie 23 Year Old American Oak Casks is a distinguished expression from the renowned Craigellachie Distillery, located in the heart of Speyside. This luxurious single malt, aged for 23 years, is a testament to the distillery's rich heritage and traditional whisky-making methods since its establishment in 1891. Notably, Craigellachie employs the use of worm tubs, which impart a distinctive meaty and robust profile to their whiskies. This 23-year-old whisky, bottled in 2017 at 46% ABV, showcases an exquisite chardonnay color, owing to its maturation in American Oak casks. The aroma is deeply mellow, with notes of putty, woodsmoke, and the delicate scent of soap reminiscent of the 17YO expression. A voluptuous texture translates these aromas directly into rich tastes, enhanced further with a drop of water, revealing a slightly mentholated nuance. The intricate balance of Bourbon and Sherry cask maturation brings forth a symphony of flavors. The Bourbon casks contribute subtle sweetness and vanilla notes, while the Sherry casks add layers of rich, dried fruit flavors. Craigellachie 23 Year Old is non-chill filtered, with no added caramel coloring, presented in its most authentic form. A sensory journey awaits, with the aroma revealing layers of caramel, vanilla, dried fruits such as raisins and figs, complemented by floral and spicy oak notes. On the palate, expect a rich and sweet profile, with hints of floral rose water, mint, smoky undertones, pineapple, and a touch of oiliness. The finish is long and lingering, leaving a pleasant aftertaste of cinnamon, oak, and more dried fruits. This unusual and delicious dram is a limited release that offers complexity and depth, balancing sweet and spicy notes with rich fruit flavors and a hint of smokiness.
