Here are some detailed tasting notes for Ignatius I, the 14-year-old Craigellachie Single Malt:
- Nose: A rich aroma with old wood, earthy notes, and hints of pine and resin. There’s also a touch of steeped barley and white bread with poppy seeds.
- Palate: The taste starts slightly sweet with pink peppercorns, honey, and a significant amount of oak. The dryness builds up, adding complexity.
- Finish: The finish is classic and slightly thin, featuring notes of straw, grass, and a touch of pine resin. It shows quite some character for a 14-year-old whisky.
These notes highlight the unique and complex profile of this limited edition whisky. If you have any more questions or need further details, feel free to ask!

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.

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.
