Crabbie 8-Year-Old is based on John Crabbie’s original Eight-Year-Old, but brought up to date as a single malt. Whisky expert Charles MacLean said: “The nose initially presents breakfast cereals and evolves into fruit loaf with hints of dried apple. It has a smooth texture and sweet taste, with a medium-length finish. Adding water brings a slight waxiness and fruitiness to the aroma, and a spice to the finish.”
