Craigellachie 13 Year Old

Tucked among Speyside's household names sits the lesser-known Craigellachie, most of its spirit bound for Dewar's blends. But a precious portion is set aside as single malt — and the 13 has a reputation worth chasing. It's a weighty, characterful dram: tropical pineapple meets a savoury, meaty edge, a thick oily texture and burnt honey, with a wisp of smoke on the finish. Does it live up to the hype?
