This ancient method contributes to a final product with a robust character and a richly textured taste.
On the nose, the Craigellachie 13 YO offers intense notes of green apple and vanilla, with a hint of peat smoke and honey. On the palate, it is rich and oily, with a malty sweetness that balances perfectly with flavors of ripe fruit, dark chocolate, and a subtle influence of oak spices. The finish is long and satisfying, with a lingering aftertaste of caramel and spices.

The story
Built in the late 19th century in the eponymous village in Speyside, Craigellachie began production in 1891. Over the 20th century ownership passed through several hands; since 1998 it has been part of the portfolio managed by John Dewar & Sons, a company controlled by Bacardi Limited. Only from the 2010s did the brand expand its range of official bottlings.
Distillation
Batch distillation using pot stills and condensation via worm tub condensers, a choice that limits copper contact and favors a fuller, savory spirit.
Ageing
Maturation primarily in ex-Bourbon and ex-Sherry casks; some expressions receive a finish in Bas-Armagnac casks or variable proportions of prime-fill Sherry/Bourbon depending on the release.
