✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Craigellachie's 31 Year Old Single Malt is a legendary expression from a distillery famously dubbed the 'Bad Boy of Speyside' for its stubborn refusal to conform to the region's typically light, sweet style. Established in 1891, Craigellachie relies on traditional copper worm tubs—cold-water tanks containing coiled copper pipes—to condense its spirit. This process limits copper contact, leaving a heavy, sulfurous, and muscular character that takes decades to soften. The 31 Year Old, crowned the World's Best Single Malt at the World Whiskies Awards in 2017, is a masterclass in patience. Over three decades of maturation, the spirit's aggressive, meaty notes have transformed into an incredibly complex tapestry of charred pineapple, beeswax, savory smoke, and exotic spices, all while retaining the distillery's signature robust backbone.
🍾 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.
