- Description
- Craigellachie's characteristic sulfurous, waxy character is amplified by two decades in a single Sherry butt, creating a richly layered Speyside malt distilled in 1995. The palate delivers dark fruits, honeyed spice, and subtle oak influence with a creamy, mouth-coating texture that builds rather than rushes. A mature, contemplative dram suited to those who appreciate the interplay between distillery character and patient cask influence.
