Craigellachie 17 Year Old
The whisky's maturation journey begins in a harmonious blend of ex-Bourbon and ex-Sherry casks. After this initial aging period, 50% of the blend embarks on an additional refinement in first-fill Sherry casks, while the remaining whisky matures in first-fill Bourbon casks.
Craigellachie 23 Year Old
The Craigellachie 23 Year Old is a characterful Single Malt Scotch Whisky, aged in a blend of ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks, giving it a rich profile. Non-chill filter, contains no caramel colouring and bottled at 46% ABV.
Craigellachie 37 Year Old
Part of their distinguished cask series, this limited-edition whisky stands as a testament to superior quality and craftsmanship. The Craigellachie 37 year old was first aged in refill casks, before being finished in first-fill ex-Bourbon casks. This process ensures that the distinctive style of the Craigellachie distillery is prominently showcased.
