- Description
- This 1999 Craigellachie, aged 12 years in an ex-sherry butt, showcases the distillery's funky, sulfurous character tempered by dried fruit and warming spice from the cask. The Speyside house style—green fruits, waxy texture, and herbal notes—merges with sherry influence to create layers of plum, walnut, and light caramel. Medium to full-bodied with a velvet mouthfeel and sustained finish. Ideal for those seeking unconventional, characterful Speyside.
