Interesting Fact:

Craigellachie Distillery, founded in 1891, is known for its use of worm tub condensers, an old-fashioned cooling system that imparts the whisky’s famously rich, slightly smoky, and meaty character. Few distilleries still use this method today, making Craigellachie’s flavor profile truly distinctive.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve neat in a tulip glass to appreciate its robust malt and waxy depth. Add a few drops of water to open up notes of orchard fruit and honey. Best enjoyed slowly at room temperature to fully explore its layered Speyside complexity.

Distillery Background:

Located in the heart of Speyside overlooking the River Fiddich, Craigellachie Distillery bridges the classic Speyside fruitiness with Highland heft. Its spirit is rich, oily, and deeply textured, a style prized by blenders and connoisseurs alike. Bottled by Douglas Laing’s Provenance as a Limited Single Cask Edition, this 10 Year Old showcases the distillery’s unmistakable house character in its purest form, bold, traditional, and wonderfully individual.
