Description
The Signatory Vintage Craigellachie 16 Years Old 2009 Cask Strength #205 is an impressive single cask bottling from the popular Cask Strength Collection by Signatory Vintage, one of Scotland's most renowned independent bottlers. This single malt comes from the long-established Craigellachie Distillery in Speyside, which is known for its strong, characterful whiskies with a meaty, almost oily character - a style that combines perfectly with sweet wine cask notes.
The maturation took place entirely in a 1st fill Madeira Hogshead, which gives this limited bottling (cask number #205) a special aromatic depth and fruity sweetness. After 16 years in casks, the whisky was bottled in 2023 at natural cask strength with 55.2% vol. - naturally uncolored and not chill-filtered, which preserves the authentic, intense character of this whisky.
The Madeira cask maturation brings an exciting balance of dark fruits, nutty spice and floral elegance to the strong base character of Craigellachie. Packaged in the iconic Signatory tin box, this bottling is a highlight for collectors, lovers of cask strength malts and fans of special maturations. (automated translation)
Tasting notes:
Color: Rich gold with reddish reflections.
Nose: Dried apricots, orange zest, honey, Madeira wine, roasted almonds and oak.
Taste: Strong and complex with notes of dried fruit, caramel, vanilla, nutmeg, nutty malt and a hint of tobacco.

This Craigellachie is best enjoyed neat or with a few drops of water to develop the intense wine cask aromas and the depth of the malt.
It is an ideal culinary accompaniment to game dishes with a fruity sauce, mature hard cheese, caramelized nuts or dark chocolate with orange zest. This single malt is also an aromatic experience for experienced whisky connoisseurs as a digestif or as a special moment of pleasure with a cigar. (automated translation)
