- Craigellachie 13 year old. A Speyside whisky that, in my opinion, doesn't get talked about enough. Do I talk about it enough? Well why not watch this review and decide for yourselves.
Enjoy.

Thanks for the review Jim. Craigellachie 13 always has a spot to live on in my whisky cupboard. I just replaced an empty bottle.
Cheers Peter. Yeah it's one everyone should definately try.
Another great review Jim and another bottle to add to the list. Great intro to. Cheers buddy stay safe.
Cheers Leejay.
I am loving my Craigellachie lately. Starting to think of it as the poor man's Springbank. Although I do like Springbank better. But to be fair Craigellachie is quite good on its own and it is not the same as Springbank. Great quality for money in my location. A great whisky and a great review.
Totally agree about the comparison to Springbank 15, but at HALF the price of that Springbank, the Craigallachie is a SUPER value IMO. A more budget-friendly option in the "Dirty Whisky" category might be Loch Lomond 12, and like the Springbank, it has a hint of smoke.
Cheers Christopher. Yeah good call on the LL12. Very affordable too.
Thanks buddy.
Yummy whisky. Sweet. Full of apples, soursop, vanilla. Faint bitterness. What's that wood taste? Is that oak, or...?
I got talked into buying this by a random stranger while looking for a bottle of Artbeg 10, and man am I glad I did. This is a fantastic whiskey, deep and full with immense complexity. I swear each taste is different. I can’t wait until the bottle settles because I know it’s only going to get better. Get a damn bottle of this shit if you’re a scotch lover I guarantee you won’t be disappointed. Good video !
Damn! Cheers. Agreed!
How would you compare it with Ardbeg 10, Monkey shoulder or talisker 10
Great pour and Speysides are lovely drams, aren't they? ❤ Cheers from ETn Smoky Mtns.
Craigellachie 13 is one of my favorites. I always try to have a bottle of it in my cabinet.
Always a good one to have Arne. Cheers buddy.
Happened to have a bottle on hand and tasted it with your notes. Totally agree. Great dram Mr Depp.
😁 good stuff. Enjoy.
Thanks Jim, for bringing this great whisky in the spotlight. It's not your average dram; for me a dram that 'brings more'... so moreish ... but than different :-).
Cheers Frank. Yeah it's a beautiful dram. One I was very happy to review.
Crazy intro there. Had me rolling 😂 👍 as for the whisky. Haven’t had neither. So I get to try them both knowing you’re recommending them 🙌 cheers 🥃
Cheers Antonio. Yeah they're definately worth it buddy.
Wow, that intro must have taken you a month of hours to create-- what a masterpiece! And, speaking of masterpieces, this is a good one. I think the 17 is a worthy upgrade, but the 13 is much more interesting than most Speyside. Boy, did you give it a compliment by comparing it to SB 15-- I love that one.
I'd love to claim that I toiled for hours over that intro Bud but, the truth is, it was created using an app I found called Reface. I wish there were more freedom with it but you're limited to specific clips. I'd love it to have been me that Pam discovered in the shower in that classic Dallas scene 😄.
Yeah I love this expression. Well made and it shows. Although, the SB 15 is almost a standalone whisky...I do believe this Craigellachie is worthy in the same company.
Cheers my friend.
Jim you explained this so good that my mouth was starting to water 😁. Intro, review, fun factor, all good nice one Jim.
😁 cheers David.
I love this whisky and consider it on of the best for teaching newbies how complex a whisky can be, almost everyone I share it with gets something different. Nice review and really like the comparison ideas from you and @Christopher Molloy.
In dirt we trust! Nice one Jim, it certainly sounds right up my street too. Cheers.
Get it got mate. Cheers.
Most bizarre intro ever lol. Another grand dram and another great review. Cheers Jim 🥃😂
Cheers Hellen 😁
I definitely echo the sentiments below Jim! I will be trying this whisky as the worm tub family of whisky has always been up my alley.
Happy days. Cheers Drew.
Picked up a bottle today. Haven’t enjoyed in awhile. The liquor store shelf said BUY ME. 46%, non-chill for $45 USD, no brainer…
Love the reviews.
Cheers brother…..
Absolutely. Cheers my friend.
Well…you did it man. You tipped me over the edge here with the Craigellachie. Been pondering buying one for a few months and after this review I thought…well…shit, now I gotta try it (too bad you don’t get kick backs!$$$). I like it quite a bit. I love how dirty and filthy it is. I don’t really like speysides because they’re so clean for the most part. Ends up tasting like malty barrel aged vodka. This scotch though has a lot of character. It’s like Dewar’s in a purified form with boatloads of more funkiness and character. I can get it for around $45USD. Good deal for sure.
Happy days. Glad you're enjoying it Garrett.
Cheers.
Lovely notes Jim and another great review. Cheers
Cheers Lee.
Nice on Jim! To me this is is a whisky that lures you in with the promise of something soft and sweet, but it has a bit of a bite, a bit of oomph, something spicy and peppery that adds to the character. Shame the 17 is creeping up in price (and the 23 yo is just ridiculously expensive)
Cheers Menno. Yep totally agree with everything you said 😁
Just cracked this one open today. Went down like a fat kid on a see saw. Delicious. Thanks for the "if you liked this" recommendation! I LOVE that :)
😆😆😆 cheers.
I haven't tried this yet Jim, at £50 I am gonna have to treat myself 👍👍🥃
Cheers Neil. Yeah it is a little pricier mate but well worth it in my opinion.
Good review (I think).
You need subtitles, mate!
😃
Wow what an awesome video mate 👍🏻
Cheers.
Great review Jim 😁🥃
Cheers Fredrik.
Really enjoyed this one Jim. This whisky has been high on my radar for a few weeks now. I had a dram of the 17 yo in a whisky bar in Aberlour in early September. I thought I was ordering a Glenallachie but she misheard my sassanach accent 🤣. Good mistake - the 17 is a spectacular whisky, but oh so pricy! So the 13 looks a great option as a proper introduction to the distillery (tho’ I’m tempted by some of the independent bottling). It seems a proper old fashioned, full flavoured dram.
Anyways, really informative review... really great to see a focus on this whisky.
Cheers Tim. Yeah the 17 and Indys seem to have quite a lot of focus. I must look into them myself. Thanks mate.
It was thanks to this bottle that I got into Craigellachie in a big way about 5 years ago. Don’t bother with the 17, yes it’s good but too pricey. Tried independent bottlings and they were all great, still have a sherried Craigellachie from Wemyss and a bourbon matured from AD Rattray.
Cheers buddy. Must look for some of those Indy bottlings.
OK Yes I have been drinking but WTF is that intro about ! Love this Whisky. The bottle changes quite a bit as you go through it. Got my first one of these early in my journey. Many people say this is not a beginner dram but glad I paid no attention as this has fruit and savory (some say meaty but I think savory is more appropriate). For the money don't think much else will deliver this much experience. Cheers Jim
Cheers Tim. Just some of my previous TV and movie roles 😄😄.
Yeah this one definately delivers for sure.
Thanks buddy.
Worm tub? Looked like you went down the worm hole! You really liked this one, eh Jim? I don't think I've ever seen you nose & sip so much during a review! This has been on my list for a while. Looking forward to it now. :). Have you noticed you're only 3 subs from 500? Any big plans to celebrate?
Noticed Richard. Right now, all I wanna do is sleep 🤣🤣. Had a busy day or 2.
Yeah if you can pick up a bottle of this, it's well worth it mate.
Cheers.
@@WhiskeyNovice Just got a bottle from Santa! :). Watching the review again. Merry Christmas.
I may have compared it as a lighter version of the Edradour Caledonia 12yo.
How would you compare it with Ardbeg 10, Monkey shoulder or talisker 10 or a highland park 12
Yet to try the original 13 will need to get a hold of one. I see you are into the deep fakes now Jim or you building an Alibi?! ....honestly that’s not me hunny someone deep faked me into that video.....😂
🤣🤣🤣 Alibis R Us. I could go into business with that. Cheers Alan.
Yeah it's a good whisky to have mate.
No colour added (source: www.whisky.de).
weird, I went to the site you mentioned and didn't find this info. I am pretty sure there is color added to all the Craigellachie range, including my beloved 23....
@@RomainRiviere I have communicated directly with Horst Lüning about it. When there is no mention of colour (that means you can´t find "Mit Farbstoff" anywhere), then there definitely is no colour added. On the other hand, if you find this phrase, there is still a small chance (15% or so) that there was no colour added. Horst has to be careful due to potential legal implications.
@@macallanfinerare2552 oh, thanks for the info!
@@RomainRiviere my 5 year old bottle has a much lighter color than I'm seeing in this review. That certainly looks colored compared with my bottle which is pale straw in color.
@@EuropaWill or maybe is it great news and the proof that Craigellachie does not care about inconsistency, as each new batch can slightly differ in favour and/or colour (see Springbank)
