This Speyside single malt was distilled in 2011 at Craigellachie distillery before spending the next eight years maturing in a single wine barrel. Bottled in 2019 by family-run independent bottler Hunter Laing & Co. as part of the First Editions series, this expression produced just 330 bottles at a strength of 46% abv. The nose has sweet apple and strawberry notes with a lemon zest edge. The palate brings more sweetness with salted caramel, followed by pepper and spices. The finish is long with lingering pepper notes.

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 Its fruity, muscular flavor, which was considered out of date even in 1891, is due to the employment of worm tub condensers.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.
