Craigellachie 1995 is a 21-year-old Speyside single malt, distilled in 1995 and bottled as a single cask from a sherry butt at 52.3% ABV. It is the White Rook in The Chess Malt Collection, a series of Scottish single malts released as chess pieces, and it came out on 3 November 2017.
Like every bottling in the series, it is at cask strength with no added colour and no chill filtration.
The nose is soft, with raisins, chocolate, dark dried fruits and Christmas cake. Dried fruits, nuts, orange peel and caramel come through on the palate, along with dark chocolate and hints of tobacco and oak spice. The finish is long, with slightly bitter fruits, more chocolate and a touch of white pepper.
