CRAIGELLACHIE 1973 22 YEAR OLD RARE MALTS
SPEYSIDE SINGLE MALT

Distilled: 1972

Bottle Number: 2860

60.2% ABV / 70cl

Craigellachie is another distillery that actively encourages sulphurous notes in its spirit by minimising copper contact during the distillation process. This is balanced by a long fermentation beforehand, allowing tropical fruit notes to emerge. Much like fellow Speysiders Mortlach, Benrinnes and Cragganmore, this makes it highly sought after by blenders.
In 2014 the brand was relaunched as a single malt, and several of their expressions have won industry awards.
