Speyside whiskies are known to be fruity and floral, but as the “bad boy” of Speyside, Craigellachie defies expectations with its oil-fired, rich character. Craigellachie 17 Year Old is matured in a mixture of ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks. The bourbon casks bring vanilla, toffee and fudge notes to the fore, while the sherry casks provide richness and complexity.
