People have always drunk whisky neat […] it is just one of the
few myths that have sprung up around whisky, revolving
around how to drink it, when to drink it, at what age you can
start to appreciate it, and what sex you have to be.

Whisky: The Manual
Our heritage at The Craigellachie is steeped in whisky.
But it's not every day that you get to taste a whisky that was
distilled the same year you were born and enjoy something
that has aged as wonderfully as you have..
Hotel bars were truly responsible for the world's first romance
with cocktails and with this in mind, The Quaich Bar team has
hand picked a list of classic libations from legendary
bartenders and thrown in a few contemporary creations of
their own.
Sláinte
THE whisky CLASSICS
QUAICH CHAMPAGNE COCKTAIL {£18.00}
The classic brandy based champagne cocktail is the epitome of elegance. We take
Apricot Brandy, bitters, brown sugar, ABERFELDY 12 for a highland twist and top up
with champagne.
OLD FASHIONED
As cocktails became more desirable, the tried and trusted recipes laid down by
luminaries such as 'Professor' Jerry Thomas and legendary Scottish bartender Harry
MacElhone made way for intricate creations; curaco, absinthe, and a range of other
liqueurs were added by adventurous bartenders. The result? Swathes of people
asking for drinks to be made 'in the old-fashioned way' - spirit, sugar, bitters and
water.
Our hotel team personally recommend:
AUCHENTOSHAN three wood {£10.95}
COPPER DOG {£6.95}
LAGAVULIN 16 {£10.95}
WOODFORD RESERVE {£9.95}
MANHATTAN {£9.95}
GLENDRONACH 12 and Italian vermouth, together with a dash of bitters, are carefully
stirred over ice to give you this sweet classic.
CHURCHILL {£9.95}
Joe Gilmore created this drink in honour of Sir Winston Churchill, by carefully mixing
his favourite dram - JOHNNIE WALKER black label - with lime juice, triple sec and
vermouth.
SAZERAC {£9.95}
The Sazerac was created in 1838 by Antoine Peychaud in New Orleans. Originally a
cognac based drink, it was made using Peychaud's very own family bitters recipe and
served in an absinthe rinsed glass. At the end of the 19th century cognac was less
readily available, so the base spirit changed to American Rye whisky.
GIMLET {£8.95}
Having been the preferred antiscorbutic of the British Navy in the 19th century, this
cocktail is simple in its creation - we use DAFFY's gin and lime juice. Simple.
MARTINI {£9.95}
The quintessential gin drink, we stir our Martini's in the traditional manner.
Our hotel team personally recommend:
NO.3, dry vermouth, grapefruit twist
EDEN MILL oak, dry vermouth, blue cheese
HENDRICKS, elderflower liqueur, dry vermouth, cucumber
FIRKIN islay cask, dry vermouth, lemon twist
NEGRONI {£8.95}
Named after Camillo Luigi Manfredo Maria Negroni (don't expect us to repeat that!)
this drink was created when he asked bartender Fosco Scarselli to fortify his
Americano (Campari, Italian vermouth, soda) with gin. Obviously you would get rid of
the soda. This is a favourite amongst bartenders - let's be honest, only good people
like Campari - and for this classic we've used EDEN MILL hop.
HANS OFFRINGA
a dear friend of The Craigellachie
who loves a bourbon
Alexander Edward, founder of The Craigellachie Hotel, was one of the most legendary
and enigmatic distillers of the late 1800’s. Edward's name has been forgotten over
time yet we are proud to celebrate our rich whisky heritage at The Craigellachie with
‘his’ whiskies.
CIGARS
BOLIVAR no 2 {£20.00}
We suggest pairing with TALISKER 25
Full bodied. Big, uncomprising smoke with an abundance of spice and pepper.
SPEYSIDE
This can be confusing for some, yet frankly, life would just be
a little bit boring if they all tasted the same.
ABERLOUR 10 HB 46% {£3.50}
ABERLOUR 11 nc2 range DT 46% {£3.60}
ABERLOUR 12 40% {£4.00}
ABERLOUR 15 48% {£4.90}
ABERLOUR 16 40% {£5.50}
ABERLOUR 17 distillery exclusive 55.3% {£10.80}
ABERLOUR 18 43% {£9.50}
ABERLOUR 22 43% {£30.00}
ABERLOUR 25 51.1% {£40.00}
ABERLOUR a'bunadh 60.1% {£4.40}
ABERLOUR-GLENLIVET 12 [circa 1980's] 40% {£12.00}
HIGHLAND
This also includes the Island whiskies due to them not being
officially recognised as a region of its own so, understandably
there is a vast array of whiskies.
ISLAY
Home to arguably some of the most famous distilleries in the
world.
Why not try a Lagavulin 16 with coca cola… Yes, it's a thing.
LOWLAND
CAMPBELTOWN
SINGLE GRAIN
Grain whisky is usually seen as less characterful whisky when
compared to a single malt.
Don't compare the two however and in reality the much loved
blends rely on the distinctive characteristics of these grains.
BLENDED MALT
Some of the most innovative whiskies currently on the market
that give many distillers and blenders free reign to play
around and challenge the way we look at whisky.
Why not try our Copper Dog with Madagascan cola or ginger
ale? Or you can buy a bottle for £27.95
ASYLA CB 43% {£3.80}
BLENDED SCOTCH
Approximately 90% of Scotch whisky sold globally is blended
scotch.
Blends are notorious for being consistent which takes skill and
time to perfect.
Distilleries come and go, yet some of the most famous brands
of blended scotch have been on the market for over 100 years
and blenders of today are challenged to recreate those very
blends possibly using different malts and grains to what their
founding blender used.
