- Description
- Craigellachie's use of a worm tub condenser—a rarity in modern Scotch production—creates the oily, meaty backbone that defines this 13-year-old expression. The spirit matured in a tiny Pedro Ximénez octave for 13 years, concentrating those robust characteristics with dried fruit sweetness, resulting in just 93 cask-strength bottles. For adventurous drinkers curious about how distillery equipment shapes flavor.
