The Craigellachie 17 Years Old Speyside Single Malt is an outstanding whisky from the renowned Craigellachie Distillery, which has been known for its distinctive, characterful whiskies since 1891. This bottling is matured for 17 years in a combination of ex-bourbon and sherry casks, giving it an impressive depth and balance between malty sweetness, fruity notes and spicy oak.
Craigellachie relies on traditional production methods, including the rare use of worm tub condensers, which provide a particularly full, slightly sulphurous and oily mouthfeel. This technique gives the whisky an unmistakable depth and robust texture. With an alcohol content of 46% vol., non-chill-filtered and without the addition of colorants, it retains its authentic character and offers an intense taste experience.
