Mossburn Vintage Cask No.38 Craigellachie 2007 is a carefully managed single malt that explores a union between the distillery’s naturally weighty spirit and the fruity, round profile that Marsala casks can deliver. The result is a tamed, well-balanced dram where concentrated fruit and underlying weight meet gentle sweet oak nuance, making it an intriguing choice for both blenders and single-malt enthusiasts.
The wine-cask sweetness makes this Craigellachie a great companion to pork belly with a fruit glaze or spiced orange duck; vegetarian options include roasted root vegetables with balsamic and prunes, while rich blue cheeses and nutty desserts also find harmony.
The nose shows baked orchard fruit and warm pastry; the palate is full and round with integrated fruit richness and a softened mouthfeel of stewed pear, dried raisin and gentle spice, finishing smooth with a lingering fruity warmth.
