It left a lasting impression with its clean and beautiful oily character. Craigellachie CRAIGELLACHIE 1980-1997 16yo Cadenhead Authentic Collection 60.1% The aroma is waxy, with a creamy oiliness, strong malty notes that seem delicious, plain cask characteristics, slightly white grape, and clean. When drinking, it starts with a smooth mouthfeel that gradually expands into spicy notes, with a silky sweetness and a strong malty bite, waxy, and leaves a long pleasant aftertaste. 【Very Good】 This is the Glen Craigellachie 1980, aged for 16 years, bottled in 1997 by Cadenhead in a green bottle. With its typical plain cask characteristics of Green Cadenhead and high proof, the original spirit flavor is clearly evident. In addition to the waxy and oily characteristics typical of Craigellachie, there is a hint of white grape in the aroma, along with a delicious malty note, which was an impressive feature. When drinking, due to its nearly 20 years in the bottle, it has a slightly viscous texture and remains waxy. Similar to the aroma, the malty notes are accompanied by a flavorful bite, making it very delicious. It has a rare nuance of being both waxy and oily yet somehow clean and beautiful, which I think occasionally appears in Craigellachie. #Craigellachie (CRAIGELLACHIE)
