- Description
- Craigellachie's distinctive sulfurous character—the hallmark of its worm tub condenser—comes through in this 13-year-old single cask release from the summer of 2006. Aged entirely in bourbon, the spirit retains purity and structure, with the distillery's signature mineral and slightly meaty notes underpinned by subtle oak influence. A rare single-cask bottling (189 bottles) that captures Speyside grain at its most individual.
