Details
Considered old fashioned in 1891, Craigellachie distillery is famed for its glass-faced still house and its influential worm tub condensers. This traditional distillery, in the very heart of Speyside, produces a spirit with visceral power and classic fruitiness associated with this celebrated whisky region.
After 17 months, the small but mighty sherry cask (eight times smaller than a sherry butt) has introduced luscious oak influences, along with beautifully exotic flavours from rare Palo Cortado wine - a brilliant balance of flavours from the bodegas of Spain and the classic Spirit of Speyside.
Bottled exclusively for the 2025 Speyside Whisky Festival
