Description
This 2005 Craigellachie was aged in refill cask to preserve the distillery's characteristic sulphury, waxy character while allowing extended maturation. Bottled at 58.3% abv by Decadent Drams, it balances savoury notes—cured ham, pink pepper—with honeycomb sweetness and creamy yoghurt undertones, with cantaloupe melon providing bright fruit character. The higher strength and refill cask produce a textured, oily mouthfeel with considerable depth. For those who appreciate Craigellachie's polarising funk and want it in full voice.
