Craigellachie 2007 Cadenhead’s Cask Strength 11 Year Old / 54.0%
Tasted neat
Cadenhead’s Cask Strength Craigellachie 11 Year was distilled in 2007 and bottled in 2019, just eleven years old, from three bourbon hogsheads, yielding a massive 834 bottles of this relatively young spirit. The liner notes read:
Nose: Millionaire shortcake, green bananas, and muscovado sugar.
Palate: Paprika, pecans and honey.
Finish: Died mixed herbs, pears and star anise.- Color: ripe corn (0.4)
- Nose: unripe apples, salt water, white wine, and cloves
- Taste: campfire ashes, maple syrup, muskmelon, and fudge
- Finish: white sugar and ice cream
This is quite a young dram, but it’s quite tasty and good value for the money. The only downsides are it feels a little brash, but sometimes, that’s what you want.
Rating: 86/100
