- Description
- Craigellachie's 13-year-old finished in Bas-Armagnac casks is an unusual pairing, combining the distillery's characteristic bold, waxy character (created by worm tub condensers) with the brandy cask's dried plum and prune notes. This creates a distinctly fruited single malt rarely seen in Speyside.
