Craigellachie 13 Year Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Description

Whiskey: Craigellachie 13 Year Single Malt Scotch

A range of Craigellachie single malts was released for the first time in 2014. The distillery is known for its meaty character, and the 13-year-old is sweet, spicy and slightly smoky.

Size: 750mL

Proof: 92 (46% ABV)

Age: 13 Year

Origin: Scotland

Distillery: Craigellachie Distillery

One of the three official Craigellachie bottlings released in 2014, their 13 year old single malt Scotch whisky handsomely shows off the bold, robust character of the distillery’s output. Oodles of dynamic fruit notes with a distinctive current of smoke running through the middle. Single malt Craigellachie hasn’t been seen much outside of indie bottlings recently, so this is an ace return to our glasses from the distillery.
