Poached pear and candied ginger, cinnamon and cedar, pine, burnt, and smoldering. Apples, orange zest, dried apricot, candied pineapple nose.
Orange oil, cinnamon, caramel, lemongrass, lemon oil and grapefruit conspire on a racy finish that lingers with perfume.

Biting and finished smooth — 3 years ago
Glenrothes used to have a relatively unique labeling convention. They would mark the distillation date (vintage date). They did away with all that and adopted a more traditional age statement for their bottles. This was a crazy dark color after seeing 18 years in ex-sherry casks. Delicious honey, nuts, and dried fruits. Smooth. A pleasant “oiliness” though not to the extreme that the Craigellachie has. Long finish. Rich and delicious. Definitely worth seeking out. — 5 years ago
Some of our dear friends muled this bottle from their recent trip to Scotland. Craigellachie is not very well known outside of Scotland as little of it gets bottled under its own label. Instead, the majority goes into blends for Dewars. Bottled at cask-strength, my notes are after four drops of water. This is an explosion of honey, lanolin, Frosted Flakes, pine forest, and bandaid. This is an oily whisky with substantial body. The finish is looooooong...lasting for minutes. Super delicious! — 5 years ago
