Ferg & Harris Craigellachie 15-Year Single Malt Scotch Whisky (White Port Finish)
A Captivating Journey Along the River Spey
Crafted near the banks of the legendary River Spey, this enchanting Craigellachie 15-Year Single Malt from Ferg & Harris invites you on a sensory voyage rich with character. Initially matured in rich sherry oak, this whisky's unique finish in a luxurious first-fill White Port cask elevates it into something truly special—layering familiar Speyside sweetness with exotic depth, spice, and fruit. Bottled at a bold yet surprisingly approachable 63.1% ABV, it promises complexity and warmth with every sip.

Exceptional Cask Influence
