- Description
- This 2006 Craigellachie, matured in refill hogshead and bottled by Vintage Bottlers at cask strength, captures the distillery's oily, tropical character without cask interference. Expect layers of mango, pineapple, and stone fruit with the Speyside house style shining through clearly. At 17 years and 52% ABV, the spirit has developed complexity while retaining its characteristic fruit-forward identity. A vivid snapshot of Craigellachie's tropical signature for whisky enthusiasts.
