✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Craigellachie is famous for its stubborn adherence to old-school whisky-making, particularly its use of traditional copper worm tubs that condense the spirit slowly, retaining a heavy, sulfurous, and meaty character. This 33-year-old expression, bottled in 2017, represents a rare, ultra-aged window into this distinctive Speyside style. Distilled in 1983 and matured for over three decades, it balances the distillery's signature muscular, savory, and waxy character with deep, elegant notes of tropical fruit, toasted almond, and gentle oak spice. It is a testament to the 'Bad Boy of Speyside' ethos, proving that heavy, old-fashioned spirits can age into magnificent complexity.
🍾 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.
