- Description
- Distilled in 1980 and aged for nearly four decades in a single refill bourbon hogshead, this cask strength Craigellachie represents the distillery at its most mature and complex. The extended maturation builds layers of polished wood, dried fruit, and the distillery's signature waxy character, while retained spirit strength ensures depth and persistence on the palate. A rare collector's expression for those with patience and appreciation for old Speyside whisky.
