Craigellachie 13 Year old Scotch Whisky Finished in Bas-Armagnac Casks

Whisky Advocate Score: 93, #20 on the Top 20 Whiskies of 2022 List

Master blender Stephanie Macleod is at it again with this sumptuous sipper, which is soft, sweet, and lovely. On the nose, there’s apple pie, nutmeg, cinnamon stick, vanilla extract, and cookie dough wafting from the glass. There’s also a trace of earthiness, thanks to a clean grassy note and the slightest bit of salinity. The palate is well-spiced, honeyed, and full of vanilla sweetness, with some espresso and black pepper. A delightfully rich finish offers a mouthful of baked apples and lingering spice.
