Tasting notes
This 14 YO Craigellachie Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a Single Cask at a Cask Strength of 60,4%, derived from Cask #900942.
1 of 100 bottles, so a very limited edition. Just as that man on the label, named Ignatius.
Ignatius I – A Limited Edition, born in Nijmegen. And with this bottling we
celebrated his 65th birthday, February 9 th 2021. Reaching such a
milestone can not be taken for granted, so share a bottle and raise your
glass. For there is only one Ignatius, one very limited edition.
Ignatius I knows how to cherish the important values in life. Family matters, as well as his hard core buddies.
This is what you also find in this splendid Scottish whisky of Craigellachie.
Taste the life and terroir
Ignatius knows best, a palette that got better by the years in the barrel.
Share that immense feeling and taste of trust, companionship and completeness with your truest and dearest friends.
And some family, now and then.
This is the 2nd bottling of Whisky Center.

Marcel Hanstede –
Die Ignatius is super. Geur van sinaasappel kers. Beetje likeurachtig. Smaak bloemig citrus en iets wat ik nog niet kan definiëren. Mooie middellange afdronk. Al met al een zeer aangename whisky. Errg blij mee.
Lorenzo van der Weiden –
Heerlijke 14 jarige whiskey, sigaar er bij perfect!
Sjoerd de Haan –
Sniff:
A rather rich nose, with old wood and soil/dirt/earth. Steeped barley, with hints of pine and a whiff of resin. White bread with poppy seeds.
Sip:
A somewhat sweeter arrival, but the dryness builds. Pink peppercorns, some honey and quite a lot of oak.
Swallow:
The finish is rather classic. Slightly thin, with some straw and grass. Hints of oak, some pine resin.
For a 14 year old whisky this shows quite some character. Luckily the ABV wasn’t too hot, and showed itself mostly in the dryness on the palate.
I like that it showed the notes of pine and resin, with poppy seeds and therefore a rather different approach to a lot of middle-of-the-road Craigellachies.
