To administer and maintain funds and properties formerly belonging to Craigellachie Association, the Craigellachie Public Hall and the Craigellachie Playing Fields Association. Palate: Great character on display – the spirit has depth and dryness from the oak. There’s, again, plenty of cereal, but this is countered with some genuine spice, tannins, and dried fruit. Perhaps a higher proportion of sherry casks at play within the vatting? The village of Craigellachie was an important hub in whisky’s history as it was here, in 1863, that the railway lines from Lossiemouth (north), Dufftown (south), Keith (east), and the Strathspey Railway (south west) met, allowing rail transport between Glasgow, Edinburgh and Perth within the region. The evening gave guests the opportunity to taste the 51yo, followed by the 13yo, 17yo, 23yo, and – to round out the night – the absolutely incredible Travel Retail exclusive Exceptional Cask Series 23yo Double Cask, which spent 13 years in an ex-bourbon cask before being transferred to an ex-Rioja barrel for a further 10 years. If the 51yo gave your tastebuds subtlety, complexity, and something to contemplate, the 23yo ex-Rioja cask delivered zest, sweetness, juice, fruit, and dynamics. Whisky and Wisdom’s tasting notes on all the featured drams are presented at the end of this article if you’re interested in reading our personal thoughts on the whiskies. The star of the show – the Craigellachie 51yoCraigellachie’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. The Craigellachie 13 year old is permeated with nice aromas of citrus, mandarin and orange. A sweet and a bit dry palate brings up fig and a hint of cinnamon. A long and clear finish preserves the citrus notes. Nose: Candy floss (cotton candy for our American readers!), toasted grain bread, and boozy soaked fruits.

However those enthusiast are rarely there for the little known Craigallechie distillery and are there for its neighbors The Macallan, Glenfiddich, Aberlour and Glen Grant.

A wonderful distillery that sits unabashedly beside the main road running through the Craigellachie village, its whiskies have been well known and admired by whisky connoisseurs for many years.
