Initially, this number was only available to a very small circle. So this really raises our spirits to be able to show this one off! This is a Craigellachie 16 Year Old, distilled back when the hit musical Grease was dominating the airwaves, on 11 October 1978. Back then, it went for £32! This was bottled by Direct Wines Limited for its First Cask series. It was available exclusively to First Cask Circle Members (not anymore though!). It is presented at a well-balanced 46% abv.

The Speyside region's rock, Craigellachie, is everything not your average 'Speyside' whiskey. Its fruity, muscular flavor, which was considered out of date even in 1891, is due to the employment of worm tub condensers. This robust but fragrant flavour goes against what is expected. Many distilleries in the earlier days of whiskey manufacturing used worm tubs to chill their alcohol. We continue to use this conventional method of returning our vapour to liquid form after distillation. We discover that the worm tubs give the spirit an added flavor, aiding in the development of our unique personality.
