✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Craigellachie is legendary among whisky enthusiasts for its stubborn adherence to old-school production methods, most notably its insistence on using traditional copper worm tubs to condense its spirit. This specific independent bottling by Single Cask Nation showcases a 13-year-old single malt distilled in 2006 and matured in a second-fill bourbon hogshead (Cask #314984) before being bottled in 2019. The second-fill wood allows the heavy, muscular, and slightly sulfurous character of Craigellachie's spirit to shine through without being overpowered by active oak, yielding a dram rich in waxy orchard fruits, subtle bonfire smoke, and robust maltiness.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Craigellachie Distillery blev grundlagt i 1891 af Alexander Edward og den legendariske whiskypioner Peter Mackie. Destilleriet troner stolt i hjertet af skotske Speyside, hvor floderne Spey og Fiddich mødes. Ud over sin markante historiske arkitektur, tegnet af Charles Doig, er destilleriet berømt for sin kompromisløse fastholdelse af klassiske produktionsmetoder – ikke mindst den fortsatte brug af traditionelle 'worm tubs' i kobber til kondensering. Denne særlige destillationsteknik giver råspritten en robust, muskuløs og let svovlet karakter, som harmonerer smukt med livlige tropiske frugtnoter og en rig maltet dybde. I dag ejes Craigellachie af John Dewar & Sons under Bacardi og leverer anmelderroste, karakterfulde single malt whiskies, der skiller sig markant ud som både modige og nonkonformistiske i Speyside-regionen.
