Craigellachie 2017 9YO, Murray McDavid Cask Partnership Series, 54.6%

Provenance, authenticity and quality lie at the heart of Murray McDavid's Cask Partnership Series, which showcases single malt Scotch whiskies matured in flavourful casks sourced from wine and spirit producers around the world.

Founded in 1870 on the island of Madeira, Justino's is a producer of Portugal's celebrated fortified wine. For this cask partnership, traditional Justino's barriques, previously used to mature fortified wines from different grape varieties, were selected for their contribution to the whisky.

This Craigellachie single malt spent its final three years maturing in Justino's Madeira casks. The distillery's robust, savoury character is complemented by sweet and fruity influences, with tasting notes of crème brûlée, cured meats and spices.
