Craigellachie 15 Year Old – Cadenhead's Original Collection (2023) (70cl, 46%)

This is a 15-year-old Speyside single malt from Craigellachie, bottled by Cadenhead's on 9 January 2023 as part of its Original Collection. It comes in a 70cl bottle at 46% ABV, non-chill-filtered and with no added colour. The whisky was matured entirely in port casks, which give it a deep colour and a fruity profile built on Craigellachie's meaty, robust distilling style. The nose shows dark red fruit, plums, raisins, malt and light spice. The palate is full and powerful, with port sweetness, black cherry, cocoa, cloves and a firm malty core. The finish is medium to long, warm and slightly dry, with lingering dark fruit.
