Craigellachie 13 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Craigellachie 13 Year Old is a distinctive Speyside single malt that defies regional expectations. Known for its robust, muscular character, this whisky is crafted using traditional worm tub condensers, contributing to its unique flavor profile. Matured in a combination of ex-Bourbon and ex-Sherry casks, it offers a complex interplay of fruity sweetness, savory depth, and subtle smokiness. Bottled at 46% ABV, non-chill filtered, and with natural color, Craigellachie 13 is a bold and unapologetic dram.
