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.

Craigellachie 13 is the second release, and my favorite, of the Last Great Malts. The first being the Aberfeldy 12 that I reviewed, and enjoyed, yesterday. This murky little dram with the name like a monster straight out of Tolkien’s notebook magically captures both the light and dark aspects of Speyside.

Nearby is Auchindoun Castle which was built in 1480 by Thomas Cochrane. The ruins of the castle offer a number of great picture opportunities. It is free entry but only accessible on foot.

That same rich and complex fruit delivers here as well, but this time it comes with a charred and woody companion. Glazed honey, and a slightly nutty character remind me of honey roasted nuts with notes of burnt toffee / brûlée, malt, smoke, vanilla and cinnamon playing supporting roles. A splash of water brings out a bit more of the wood, malt and earth.

Comments: It’s hard not to be seduced by the notably darker colour on offer here – again, leading one to think that there’s a higher proportion of sherry casks in the mix. A truly delicious whisky that is approaching old age but still punching with the vibrancy and spirit-led flavour of youth.

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. 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?Craigellachie is making a bit of noise right now with the global release of its 51yo – a whisky that will be far more accessible than you might at first think, but more about that in a moment. In the meantime, let’s set the scene… Craigellachie’s stillhouse Nose: There’s a faint smokiness on the nose here, but this is again a nose that needs time to unravel. With time there is honeycomb, toffee, and sweet spices. Palate: Variations on vanilla, there’s also cola jube lollies, lemon meringue pie, and a drying oakiness. The texture is still full, rather than seeming delicate or oily. In 2014, a 13-year-old, 17-year-old, a travel retail exclusive 19-year-old, and a limited 23-year-old were released as part of the Dewar & Sons' Last Great Malts of Scotland. [4]

Craigellachie Distillery information". Archived from the original on 7 February 2014 . Retrieved 7 March 2014.Craigellachie Bridge over the River Spey was built by Thomas Telford in 1814. The bridge is a remarkable piece of engineering, and can be viewed from above or below. The bridge was chosen for the last parade of The Gordon Highlanders and The Queen's Own Highlanders before the were amalgamated in 1994 to form 'The Highlanders'. Palate: The spirit is robust and full-flavoured, leading to favourable comparisons with a fantastic Mezcal. It grew slightly sweeter with time in the glass, offering a dusting of icing sugar sprinkled over cinnamon loaf.
