Why Craigellachie’s Spirit is Special

• Craigellachie Distillery has long been admired for its robust, muscular whisky, full of depth and complexity. Its spirit typically carries a meaty, sulphurous character beloved by whisky aficionados. This remarkable expression, further enriched by a bold virgin oak finish, amplifies those hallmark characteristics while introducing delightful new layers of sweetness, spice, and confectionery richness.

Exceptional Cask Influence

• This Craigellachie spent years maturing in a flavourful sherry butt, developing deep fruit and chocolate undertones, before finishing its maturation in a vibrant, first-fill virgin oak cask. The fresh oak imparts bold notes of fiery pepper, rich chocolate, marzipan sweetness, and a warm, inviting nuttiness. This distinctive dual-cask maturation has yielded a dram of remarkable depth and intriguing contrasts.
