This single cask bottling from Aqua Vitae takes that naturally powerful character in a particularly interesting direction. Despite its maturation in a sherry hogshead, the cask influence remains relatively restrained, allowing the cereal-driven and savoury qualities of the Craigellachie spirit to remain prominent alongside fruit, chocolate and subtle sherry sweetness.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTasting Notes:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA wonderfully unconventional Craigellachie opening with smoky, savoury and malty aromas layered with ripe banana, apricot and peach. Creamy sweetness develops alongside toasted grains and a subtle nuttiness, while the sherry influence remains beautifully integrated rather than dominant. The palate is full-bodied and characterful, bringing multigrain cereal, malt, dark chocolate and dried hay together with softer notes of creamy fruit and strawberry yoghurt. Gentle smoke and earthy complexity run throughout, leading into a lingering finish of bittersweet chocolate, toasted grain, subtle fruit sweetness and savoury malt.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Aqua Vitae","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54424899223862,"sku":null,"price":315.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0738\/2558\/3414\/files\/fd2139bb5dcaad17e8a87f65f9a25949.png?v=1787237956","url":"https:\/\/hiliquor.com.au\/products\/aqua-vitae-2009-craigellachie-13-year-old-single-cask-single-malt-scotch-whisky","provider":"Hi_liquor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
