Description
Glen Keith's experimental peated malt, bottled as Craigduff after 40 years in a refill sherry butt, represents an unusual chapter in Speyside whisky history. The lengthy sherry aging has softened the peat while building rich mahogany and dried-fruit notes—a rare balance of smoke and dark sweetness. The texture is dense and warming, with considerable depth accumulated across four decades of maturation. This cask-strength bottling demands respect and curiosity, suited to experienced drinkers seeking unconventional Speyside expressions.
