2023 Ultimate Spirits Challenge

Craigellachie 13 Years Old Speyside Single Malt Whisky (Scotland), 46% abv, $59.99, 750 ml

95
Extraordinary,
Ultimate Recommendation

Tasting Note:

The deep, nutty color foretells the bouquet which expresses roasted hazelnuts, gently smoked pork belly, and bruised apples. Fruit-forward on the palate with apple tart tatin, fresh fig, and grilled pear, this finishes on a peat smoke note that lingers for a while.
