Craigellachie 8 Year Old 2013/2021 Sherry Cask #AM067

Seven hundred and six bottles, wow! And I like it that their cask # would sound like theres yet a new Aston Martin. Colour: white wine, so no heavy sherry. Nose: this feeling of distilled manzanilla, sourdough bread, banana skin, brussels sprout (I swear Im not saying this because this terrific bottler is from lovely Belgium), quinces, drop of teriyaki sauce, butterscotch… With water: its not that it would shut down, but were only left with pipe tobacco. Mouth (neat): punchy, spirity, eau-de-vie-ish, very fudgey, very much on butterscotch, Werthers Originals… With water: a lot of sweetness coming out, orange drops, liquorice lozenges, aniseed bonbons, also thick moist bread, pumpernickel, clove liqueur, bitter chocolate…. Finish: long, caramelised, spicy. Comments: rather a restless, sweet and spicy little Craig. Some action in this one. (Notes by Whiskyfun)
