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.
