Product description
“Very Cloudy” is an extension of “The Un-chillfiltered Collection” series by Signatory Vintage intended for the French market.
It consists of young single malts bottled at 40% ABV, unfiltered and with a natural colour, and no more than five barrels are used for each release. After adding a few drops of water, these whiskies can take on a slightly cloudy appearance, which explains the name "Very Cloudy". The Craigellachie presented here, distilled on 27 February 2014, spent over seven years in three re-charred hogshead barrels (nos. 30, 47 and 52), and was bottled on 17 June 2021 in an edition intended for the Parisian La Maison du Whisky.
Nose: damp gravel and clay, barley malt, green apples and pears, lemon peel, caramel, white pepper, charred oak and a hint of pencil shavings.
Palate: barley malt, roasted peanuts, vanilla, salted caramel, apples, mirabelle jam, white pepper, lemongrass and charred oak.
Finish: medium long, with notes of barley malt, burnt toast, salted nuts, white pepper and oak.
