Craigellachie Whisky

Craigellachie distillery is a single malt Scotch whisky distillery in the village of Craigellachie at the centre of the Speyside whisky producing area of Scotland. The name Craigellachie means 'rocky hill' and refers to the cliff that overlooks the Spey across from The Macallan distillery.

John Dewar & Sons, Ltd operates the distillery. Dewar's also controls Royal Brackla, Aberfeldy, Aultmore, and Macduff.

CRAIGELLACHIE SINGLE MALT

Craigellachie is the rock at the heart of Speyside, yet is anything but your typical ‘Speyside’ whisky. Considered old fashioned even in 1891, its fruity, muscular flavour stems from our use of worm tub condensers. It is this full, yet aromatic, character that defies expectations.

A unique, robust and muscular whisky with a hint of pineapple running through the range. Described as ‘A style seldom met with now’ by famed whisky writer Alfred Barnard, we’ve been known as old fashioned since1891. Craigellachie is a malt that defies the typical Speyside character.

OLD FASHIONED IN 1891-WORM TUB CONDENSERS

In a bygone era of whisky production many distilleries cooled their spirit in worm tubs. Today, we still use this traditional way of transferring our vapour back into liquid form post-distillation. We find that the worm tubs bestow the spirit with extra flavour, helping us create our distinctive character.

Craigellachie 13 Year Old

One of the three official Craigellachie bottlings released in 2014, their 13 year old single malt Scotch whisky handsomely shows off the bold, robust character of the distillery's output. Oodles of dynamic fruit notes with a distinctive current of smoke running through the middle. Single malt Craigellachie hasn't been seen much outside of indie bottlings recently, so this is an ace return to our glasses from the distillery!

Tasting Note

Nose:Apple orchards in bloom, slightly meaty, burnt popcorn, treacle tart.

Palate:Oily malt arrives first, followed by BBQ pineapple and summer berries. Pine nuts and almonds.

Finish:A very soft hint of sulphur hides behind biscuit and apple notes.
