Comments: 

Cask 6001855 and Cask 600855. A typical run cask finished whisky in some ways, there’s a strong flavour of molasses and tyre rubber, which is not unpleasant. The Craigellachie pineapple is there underneath, intensifying slightly in the finish to damson jam and raisins. Overall a decent bottle. 

Verdict:

I like this.
