Description
Craigellachie's 11-year-old Christmas bottling is a marriage of six carefully selected casks: Pedro Ximénez and oloroso octaves aged 11–12 years, a first-fill bourbon cask of 12 years, and a 14-year hogshead. The result is a rich, naturally coloured expression with notes of dark honey, spice, and dried fruit, held together by a sturdy backbone that avoids excessive sweetness. Bottled non-chill filtered to preserve the full mouthfeel and cask character, this works equally well for experienced drinkers and newcomers to Speyside whisky.
