Mossburn Vintage Casks Single Malt Craigellachie 2007
The Mossburn Vintage Casks range are a collection of Single Malt Scotch Whiskies each issuing from a strictly limited and select batch of casks. Each numbered release will only ever yield a finite number of bottles. While this means that we can never replicate the particular character of this Single Malt, it also offers an opportunity to sample what we believe to be an exceptional example of the whisky made by one of Scotland’s most distinguished distilleries.
Not the most picturesque of buildings, Craigellachie Distillery is however ideally situated at the fork of the Spey and Fiddich Rivers. Its spirit is weighty even at birth from the long fermentation and adds floral and fruit weight as it matures. Aged for twelve years before being finished in fresh Oloroso Hogsheads.
Orange peel, marmalade and a touch of gun flint smoke on the nose, hints of strawberries and oaky spice top notes follow with some freshly shelled hazelnuts. On the palate a peppery, savoury fruitcake richness with a fruity follow-through and a touch of fire on the finish.
This select Single Malt Scotch Whisky has been bottled without any colouring or chill filtration.
NOSE : Gentle peat smoke underlines aromas of citrus zest, vibrant fruits, and a faint echo of smoldering ashes. There's a layer of vanilla sweetness, enriched by nuances of freshly cut oak.
PALATE : On the palate, the smokiness evolves with a hint of grilled barbecue, paired with spicy black pepper, a subtle balsamic zest, added sweetness, and a whisper of spice. Hints of cedar and leather emerge, deepened by the sherry cask's contribution.
FINISH : Sherry cask influences gracefully emerge, maintaining a balanced interplay with Torabhaig's signature peat and spice blend, highlighting its intricate and harmonious nature.

Tasting Summary
Cnoc Na Moine opens with gentle peat smoke, citrus zest, and vibrant fruits, subtly sweetened by vanilla and freshly cut oak. The palate deepens with smoky barbecue, black pepper, and balsamic zest, complemented by cedar, leather, and the richness of sherry casks. The finish elegantly balances sherry notes with Torabhaig's signature peat and spice.
