Craigellachie Single Malt Scotch Whiskey is crafted from malted barley and pure spring water sourced from a spring on nearby Little Convall Hill. The malt is prepared in a wood-fired kiln before being triple-distilled through Craigellachie’s two spirit stills — finally, the distillery uses rare worm tub condensers to impart unusually strong flavors unto the whiskey.

Craigellachie 13 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whiskey is part of the Last Great Malts Collection and has been carefully selected by Master Blender Stephanie Macleod to showcase the very best of Craigellachie’s distinct character, which has been said to demonstrate the best elements of Speyside, both dark and light. The whiskey has straw gold color and a bold, peppery aroma that is bolstered by stone fruits, cloves, vanilla and marshlands. The palate is hearty, filled with lively notes of melon, honeysuckle, toffee and burnt wood, and leads to a complex finish, with additional notes of charred oak, apricots and rustic earth.

The Craigellachie range was dubbed one of the “Best New Launches” at the 2015 World Whiskey Awards.
