A STYLE SELDOM MET
CRAIGELLACHIE is an unapologetic and distinctly brooding malt: Full bodied and robust with a hint of fruity pineapple. As described by famed whisky writer, Alfred Barnard in 1891, our whisky is as ‘a style seldom met’.
CRAIGELLACHIE
13 YEAR OLD
SINGLE MALT
Craigellachie 13 Year Old evokes Bonfire Night: aromas of oozing toasted marshmallows, fire-roasted pineapples and baked apples studded with cloves, with the tang of cordite lingering in the background.
DISTILLERY CHARACTER
A robust, muscular whisky with hoards of exotic fruits - a malt that defies the typical Speyside characteristic.
CASK TYPE
Initially matured in a mixture of ex-Bourbon and ex-Sherry casks. 50% of the 'blend' is then finished in first-fill Sherry casks, the rest in first-fill Bourbon.

BAS-ARMAGNAC CASK
Finishing in former French Bas Armagnac barrels has softly rounded Craigellachie’s weighty style with warming notes of baked apples, dusted with heady cinnamon. Rich flavours of caramel shortcake are offset by signature syrupy pineapples and fiery bonfire night aromas.

CRAIGELLACHIE
23 YEAR OLD

Malty sweetness and fresh tropical fruit begin a sensory journey with elements of citrus and toasted oak. Vanilla and spicy cinnamon emerge, invigorated with a zing of menthol freshness. And pineapples, this time over a campfire! Long and lingering with a sweet spicy finish
