Description
This 18-year-old single malt from Craigellachie, bottled by Cadenhead’s in their celebrated Original Collection, is a refined Speyside whisky that captures both elegance and depth. Distilled in 2006 and matured for nearly two decades, it delivers a flavour journey balancing sweetness, richness, and subtle complexity.
On the nose, it evokes the character of a traditional dunnage warehouse—deep, earthy, and inviting—layered with aromas of stewed grapes and creamy white chocolate. The palate unfolds smoothly with leather, pure dark chocolate, Matcha tea, and toasted pistachio, offering both comfort and intrigue. The finish lingers long, bringing festive fruit cake, a bright touch of lemon juice, creamy peanut butter, and milk-chocolate raisins.
Bottled at 46% ABV, this expression is approachable yet full of character. It is perfect for seasoned whisky drinkers who appreciate balance, as well as collectors seeking a unique bottling from Scotland’s oldest independent bottler.
