Craigellachie 1990 21 Cask #5399

Country: Scotland

Region: Speyside

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Duncan Taylor

ABV: 52%

Score: 92 Points

This bottling is from the Duncan Taylor Dimensions range, and the nose is aromatic and fruity with fresh peach and pear notes, hints of allspice, nutmeg, and old wet leather that add complexity. The taste is thick and spicy with an oily mouthfeel, a strong cinnamon note with honey and brown sugar sweetness underneath. The spiciness lingers well with a touch of linseed oil, lemon furniture polish, and a malty touch. The finish is long and smooth with lingering spices and a hint of lemony tartness. (January, 2013)
