- Description
- Distilled in August 2008, this Craigellachie spent nine years in a bourbon hogshead before being bottled at cask strength (62.7%) without chill-filtration. The bourbon maturation preserves the Speyside distillery's oily, slightly funky character and allows full intensity at natural strength.
