The Craigellanchie Distillery Speyside Single Malt Scotch Bas Armagnac 13 year 750 ml

Craigellachie 13 Year is a Speyside single malt Scotch whisky, aged 13 years in oak casks and, per this bottling, finished with a Bas-Armagnac cask influence — an unusual choice that layers a touch of grape brandy character over the distillery's typically meaty, sulphury house style. Craigellachie is known among single malt drinkers for using worm tub condensers, an old-fashioned method that gives its whisky more weight and character than a lot of modern Speyside malts. Expect a rich, smooth palate with dried fruit, toffee, and spice, and a long, complex finish carrying a hint of smoke. Best enjoyed neat or with a splash of water.

How to drink Craigellachie 13 Year Bas-Armagnac

Neat with a splash of water is the way to go — the Bas-Armagnac cask influence is subtle and easy to miss over ice. Give it a few minutes in the glass before the first sip.
