This is a true favourite of mine. Absolutely love the slightly different and (admittedly) somewhat odd industrial notes it offers. It's certainly not your typical Speyside! I go back to it more often than to most of the other bottles on my shelf. Hovering around eighty bucks here in Ontario, for a 13 year old of this quality, it's pretty much a no brainer! Have served up a few blinds for friends and neighbours with Craigellachie 13 and it's come out on top more than once. Worm tubs rock my world! Encouraged now to sip it in my glass this evening...thanks. Cheers, my friend 🥃🥃 Marian 🇨🇦

Jon, Good review. Like those substantial flavors and funk yet with great balance. Cheers!

Bought a first bottle of this and agree 100 Percent, like a coastal or island malt reminds me a little of the new Glen Glassaughrange or an Arran, great enthusiastic review, many thanks

G'day Jon. Yes, I agree, the Craigellachie 13 YO is a big, meaty dram sure to please those who love that style. It's my favourite of the Dewar's 'Last Great Malts'. My bottle needed some airing but thereafter was perfect. Definitely non-chill-filtered, it clouded up big time with water. A nice price in Australia too, around $90 (compare $100 for the Dewar's 18 YO Blend). All the best.

Its not chill filtered & apparently German bottles say "No Added Colour". Great review. Cheers from New Zealand.

I’m with you on some of those tasting notes! I also find it chewy, savory but fruity. Stewed fruit does sound appropriate. Enjoyed the review Neighbor!

Great review. In Europe it is non-chilfiltered and ohne Farbstfoff (without E150). On the back of the tube it states "no chill filtering" . Beautiful stuff.

I really enjoy this one. I always say it's grilled pineapple with coal dust and sourdough bread and sweet pepper. I didn't know about the diesel fire drying... interesting!

Lethbridge, Alberta neighbour here. If you peel that Canadian English/French label off the Cannister, you'll see the Scottish label underneath and it is non-chill filtered. Probably no colour either, but no word on that. We'd need a German or EU label, because they have to declare it. I picked up my Craigalechie 13 just a few days ago and I like it a great deal, but I've only just scratched the surface. I like your content! Cheers!

Another awesome video. This one’s on my short list to buy and you are my go to review. Cheers from your neighbour in red deer.

Nice review John. This is a favourite of mine though I’ve been nursing my bottle about a year now as I can no longer find it around here. Glad I poured one tonight and found your review to sip along with. Just wish when it was on major discount($30+) at slga sask liquor last year I would of bought all three bottles in my town.

Craigellachie is amazing. I get the pineapple note along with sour cream and bacon! Weird right, but very enjoyable. From what I understand the 13 is all ex bourbon (mostly first fill) no sherry, (the 17 is sherried). Right now my monthly drams consist of Loch Lomond 12, teeling small batch, and lohin mckinnon, as well as a bottle of Marsala. Cheers neighbour, love the reviews!

Thanks for the review, Jon! It helped me pull the trigger on a discount deal here in NL. I agree on your tasting notes. I also get some sort of industrial notes, like eating a not-too-sweet apple pie next to an oil refinery if you know what I mean. Cheers!

Just picked up a bottle in Cincinnati OH it does state on the bottle that it is non-chill filtered. So good for them 👍🏼. Love the reviews, keep doing what you do. I need a recycle bin recap video soon ☺️

Great bottle for someone getting started that has had a few good malts and wants something challenging. Been a while since have had one of these thinking about getting one now. Cheers Jon

LOVE the Craig13! Such a compelling and affordable dram.

Another one added to my list! Cheers Jon and have a great weekend too.

Cracking review of a cracking whisky Jon. Very well broken down my friend. Cheers.

This one sounds interesting, I was at the LCBO for my first single malt in a while. Jumped in to finally get Laphroiag 10 but in the spring I think this will be next.

It sounds like I would enjoy it as well. Grest review my friend.

Finally got one of these looking forward to trying it.

Always great reviews have a great weekend thank you WN

Glad to have a dream of this while watching your review. I love this stuff. I find it to be more stone fruit to me, maybe a peach syrup.

It reminds me of a pot still Irish whisky I’m pleased I bought at $ 90 in Australia

Mortlach also utilizes a worm tub.

Great review, just picked one up and I can't wait to try it! Just wondering, what's the name of the tune in your intro?

I had this a while ago but didn't go back to it. Maybe I'll give it another try.

Craigellachie 13 is one of my go-to bottles... There's so much more going on with this dram than with 12 year old Glenlivet or Glenfiddich.

Great dram 👍...in Sweden you get it for 536skr...good value 🌞

Thanks for this Jon! Been looking at it on your shelf as the aesthetics and relatively affordable price point have always intrigued me. Diesel drying!! Crazy interesting. I’m not familiar with the other channels that you mentioned. Do you have links please?

I feel on the nose marmalade, apple, pineapple, a light citrus note, and i think it's all. On the palate, kind of same thing. It is a little spice on the palate, which i don't know it is the alcohol or a spice note like pepper, but, in my defense my perception it is not among the best.

Don’t know why I haven’t tried the Craigellachie 13, always on the to buy list but another bottle has caught my attention, after this review maybe my next purchase?

Craigellachie is 100% natural color, from official source!👍

Craigellachie is good stuff! Unfortunately the price jump from the 13 to the 17 is so high, at least here in the U.S., that it's the only Craigellachie I own a bottle of. Have you tried any other Craigellachie's? Cheers 🥃 - Patrick

It's a 'big-boned' Speyside. With a little heft.

Wow, what a difference between the nose and palate for me. Hey move the sticker on the back of the tube and see what you find.

Its not colored
