Craigellachie 2008 18 Year Old 'The Inventors' 52.10% 70cl

For Thomas Telford (1757–1834), famously known as the 'Colossus of Roads' the choice was obvious: an 18 Year Old Craigellachie. Telford transformed Scotland’s infrastructure through the construction of more than 1,000 miles of roads, bridges, and canals, including the iconic Craigellachie Bridge.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Vanilla, butterscotch, with oaked wood and a hint of marzipan wrapped in sweet caramel.

Palate: Rich sherry with fruit cake, soft leather and cherry notes softening the spice.

Finish: Syrupy and lingering, spice and caramel leaving a long, gently warming finish.
