- Description
- Craigellachie's 17-year-old combines ex-bourbon and ex-sherry maturation before splitting between first-fill sherry and first-fill bourbon casks for the final stage. The resulting spirit balances vanilla and dried tropical fruit with creamy cereals, black liquorice and charred oak across a layered palate. A sophisticated Speyside with complexity that rewards time in the glass.
