A nice bottling thats quite heavy on the Islay component - but not too peaty.

A balanced blend - it's richly aromatic, but is much dryer to the palate than you might expect. There are some neat marmalade and dark chocolate flavours, couple with some smooth sweet spice.Great blended dram.

A 21 year old from the Aultmore distillery.

Gorse and heather filtered waters of the Foggie Moss and malted barley free from peat smoke go into this beauty from the Aultmore distillery

Bottled from a refill hogshead at 46%.

An expression from Aberlour that has been matured in a combination of bourbon barrels, bourbon hogsheads and oloroso sherry casks. Aromas of Custard Cream biscuits, milky toffee and strawberries fill the nose, and the palate offers notes of strawberry jam, black pepper, honey and biscuits.

Polished copper colour. Orange cake, juicy malt then fruit mince pie and gobstopper. Aeration adds oatmeal biscuit to the aroma list. Almost chewy in texture - a sublime harmony of honeyed malt and light Christmas pudding at mid palate; then buttered raisin bread, followed by hints of caramel fudge and grassy freshness late in the fade. Woody to end, though still good vibrancy. Distinguished by its subtle staying power.

Bright polished gold in colour.

The nose shows bright vanilla syrup and poached pears, dusted with sweet barley grist, that combine with oak spice and candied peel to create a warm contrast.

Ripe yellow plums and nectarines on the palate infuse with vanilla, ginger and tangerine peel leading to wild flower honey and stewed barley 

The finish is exceptionally luscious and long with rich, dark sugars and warm oak spice thanks to the dark rum cask. A truly exceptional example of the marriage between cask, maturation and spirit.

Commercial description 

Welcome to the second of our core range Single Malts to be released from LAGG Distillery, the LAGG Single Malt Corriecravie Edition.   

The Corriecravie Edition is bottled in limited quantities once a year.

The spirit for the Corriecravie Edition is matured initially in Bourbon Barrels before being finished for approximately 6 months in Oloroso Sherry Hogsheads sourced directly from producer Miguel Martin in Jerez, Spain.

For this edition, we have used Concerto malted barley and water from our own borehole. Our chosen yeast and fermentation time allows us to create the full-bodied flavour we are looking for in this distillation.

The taste profile is slightly richer than our Kilmory expression bringing to the fore notes of sweeter spices and rich fruits.

The Corriecravie Edition is bottled at 55% ABV, without chill filtration and with no added colour.  

Nose
Dark chocolate and spiced red berries

Palate
Rich and mouth watering with subtle notes of charred embers and hazelnut

Finish
Charred Oak, Smoke, Hazelnut, Dark chocolate, Sweet Spice.

In just a fraction of a second, this bottling takes us to Laphroaig to breathe in the particularly invigorating salty sea air. Next, acting as a link between the peat and the other ingredients of the aroma and flavour palette, incredibly smooth dark chocolate brings us irresistibly towards the malting floors filled with the utterly divine fragrances of germinating barley.

Nose: clean, complex. On the first nose, traces of rubber, intense smoke and gentian root dig furrows into an anthracite-coloured peat. Allowed to breathe, this peat becomes more oily and medicinal (band-aid, merbromin), salty and even hot (cayenne). Gradually, the gamy character takes over (smoked fish and bacon). At the same time, the aromatic palette is undeniably jaunty, spring-like and bright.

Palate: powerful, lively. On the attack, blocks of chocolatey peat roll across the palate. Immediately after, iodine tincture and mustard seed bring lots of vitality. The mid-palate is a subtle mixture of herbaceous (hay, malted barley), fruity (pear, Golden Delicious) and vanilla sequences. At the end of the palate, a subtle liqueur of acacia honey and roasted pineapple unctuously floods the entire palette of flavours.

Finish: long, generous. In archetypal Laphroaig style, the start of the finish is peaty/chocolatey, fruity, iodine and phenolic (hydrocarbon, sleet). Rooted in its terroir (gentian, ginger), in a mineral-rich soil. A handful of dried fruits (almond, walnut) and citrus fruits (lemon, grapefruit) dominate the very dynamic end of the palate. On the retro-nasal olfaction, coconut milk, ash and aromatic plants (sage, verbena) stand out for their intensity. The empty glass is vegetal (Havana cigar) and chocolatey.

Bowmore Legend is matured in American oak ex-bourbon barrels, enhancing the fruitiness, mellow peat, maritime saltiness and honey of Bowmore, while adding an extra layer of deliciously sweet vanilla and gentle spice. A fine introduction to this legendary Islay distillery.
