Craigellachie 13 Year Old Speyside Single Malt Bas-Armagnac Cask Finish 750ml

Craigellachie 13 Year Old Bas-Armagnac Cask Finish is a Speyside single malt Scotch whisky bottled at 46% ABV.

It spends 13 years in American oak, mostly refill and re-charred bourbon barrels, then finishes for just over a year in French oak casks that held Bas-Armagnac from Gascony.

Like every Craigellachie, it is non-chill filtered with no caramel colouring.

Expect baked apples with cinnamon, caramel shortcake and pineapple, with a floral edge.

It was the first release in Craigellachie's Cask Collection, launched in 2022, and the grey tube with the old-fashioned engraving makes it a handsome gift.

Scotch whisky must be distilled and matured in Scotland for at least three years in oak casks, and any age statement on the label refers to the youngest whisky in the bottle.
