Craigellachie was built in 1891 and is one of few distilleries in Scotland to have retained its worm tub condensers. These provide less copper contact which creates a robust and weighty spirit that takes to longer maturation times like a duck to water. This 37-year-old was matured in refill casks before being finished in first-fill ex-bourbon casks, which provided further depth and complexity to the single malt. There are aromas of roasted pineapple, tarte Tatin and banana bread on the nose, leading to notes of coconut oil, bright citrus and almond on the palate.

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 Its fruity, muscular flavor, which was considered out of date even in 1891, is due to the employment of worm tub condensers.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