Craigellachie 13 year old Whisky
One of the most exciting and indeed the oldest dram I tasted during 2019 was the Craigellachie 51 yo single malt whisky. Georgie Bell, the Global Malts Ambassador for Bacardi, brought a few bottles of this very very limited release to South Africa and I was fortunate to try it. It was my first foray into whisky from the Craigellachie distillery. So let’s look at the entry-level single malt from this distillery, the Craigellachie 13 year old single malt Scotch whisky.
Balblair 12 year old Whisky
Today is the turn of another interesting Scotch whisky, the Balblair 12 year old single malt. I have slowly been working through my collection of Balblair Vintage mini’s this past year.

That tasting emptied my bottle, and I hadn’t revisited Macallan until recently when John brought home a bottle of TheMacallan Quest single malt Scotch whisky.
