CRAIGELLACHIE 1973 22 YEAR OLD RARE MALTS
SPEYSIDE SINGLE MALT

Distilled: 1973

Bottle Number: 2541

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.

 

A condition report is offered as an indication of any issues visible to the naked eye. As none of our staff is a professional conservator or restorer, buyers must satisfy themselves in respect of condition. The condition report does not form part of any contract between McTear's and the buyer, and all lots are offered "as is" in accordance with our Terms of Business available on our website.
