Thanks to Igor for pouring me a dram.

When I first saw this Craigellachie, I was a little apprehensive. Not because the person who picked it isn’t good at picking whisky; he’s quite good at that.

Rather the only Craigellachie’s I’ve had stood out because of the odd age statement, hipster packaging, or generally didn’t impress me much. Like that time I dressed up and sang about rocket scientists. Oh, wait, that was another Canadian, not me.

There’s so few of us, we have personality issues.

That said, I’m not one to let my past thoughts (on whisky) stop me from trying something new, thus I poured a dram of Craigellachie 9 2007 Maltbarn, and sat back with it. It’s young, sherry, and from an IB that I enjoy. Let’s see how it tastes, shall we?
