Craigellachie 17 Year Old Single Malt Whisky 750ml
Speyside whiskies are known to be fruity and floral, but as the bad boy of Speyside, Craigellachie defies with its oil-fired, rich character. Craigellachie 17 is matured in a mixture of ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks. The bourbon casks bring vanilla, toffee, and fudge notes to the fore, and the sherry casks provide richness and complexity.
Tasting Notes:
Smooth and mellow, the aroma opens with vanilla and rich, silky notes of exotic fruits, dried pineapples, and a hint of smoky licorice.
About the Brand:
CRAIGELLACHIE is the rock at the heart of Speyside, yet is anything but your typical ‘Speyside’ whisky. Considered old-fashioned even in 1891, its muscular robustness comes from the use of oil fired malt and worm tub condensers. It is this full, yet aromatic, character that has made CRAIGELLACHIE a prized malt for blending since the late 19th century.
