- Description
- Craigellachie distillery's 2008 vintage spent 7 years in active maturation before an 8-month finishing period in a tiny octave cask intensified its Speyside character. This Duncan Taylor release from cask 759568 represents a deliberately compact production run of 113 bottles, with the cask's diminutive size driving concentrated wood influence.
